This 2020 Yale NR040 is a used electric stand-up narrow aisle reach truck tailored for high-density warehousing and precision pallet handling. With just 205 hours, four way hydraulics, side shift, a robust 4000# capacity, a triple mast with a 95-inch collapsed height and 212-inch maximum lift height, and a dependable 24 volt battery, it delivers the maneuverability, control, and reach that serious operations demand. NLEQ stock number 146994. Priced to move at $14,975.00.

Overview

The Yale NR040 combines proven Yale engineering with the efficiency of electric power to meet the tight-aisle challenges common in modern distribution and manufacturing. Designed as a stand-up narrow aisle reach truck, it is optimized for quick on/off operator transitions and precision load placement in racking. This configuration is prized by warehouse managers who must maximize vertical storage while maintaining fast cycle times and minimal aisle widths.

Key performance elements on this unit include side shift for accurate alignment, four way hydraulics for fine control of mast and carriage functions, and a triple mast that keeps overall height low when collapsed yet reaches comfortably for high-bay storage. The 24 volt battery supports clean, quiet operation that fits indoor air-quality standards and reduces noise on the warehouse floor.

Condition

This used Yale NR040 shows 205 operating hours and has been carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale by NLEQ. Expect the integrity and accuracy that come from a unit evaluated by a top leader in used heavy and industrial equipment. Based on its hours and function check, this reach truck is ready to be integrated into daily warehouse duties, with the understanding that normal signs of prior use may be present as with any pre-owned machine.

Advantages and What These Features Mean in Practice

• Electric power with a 24 volt battery: Electric operation brings low emissions and minimal noise, supporting indoor air quality and a quieter work environment. The 24 volt battery architecture is well-suited for reach truck duty cycles, delivering consistent power for starts, stops, lifts, and travel while simplifying charging logistics for many facilities.
• Stand-up narrow aisle configuration: The stand-up operator position enables rapid entry and exit, ideal for frequent dismounting during pick and place tasks. Narrow aisle capability helps you condense racking, increase pallet positions per square foot, and reduce travel distances, which can elevate overall throughput.
• 4000# capacity: A 4000-pound rating covers the bulk of standard palletized loads used in general warehousing, retail distribution, and light manufacturing. This capacity gives operators the confidence to handle everyday tasks without overstressing the truck when loads are within the stated rating and properly centered.
• Triple mast with low collapsed height and tall reach: The triple mast collapses to 95 inches for better clearance through low doorways and under mezzanines, while the 212-inch lift height allows productive use of high racking. The combination expands the usable vertical cube in your facility without sacrificing access.
• Side shift for precise placement: Side shift lets the operator move the carriage laterally without repositioning the truck. This helps align forks with pallet openings quickly, reduces time spent jockeying in tight aisles, and can lower the risk of rack or product contact during placement.
• Four way hydraulics for fine control: With four way hydraulics, operators gain nuanced proportional control over lift and other hydraulic functions, improving accuracy during approach, lift, reach, and set-down. That control translates into less product damage and smoother cycles, especially at higher lift heights.
• Yale engineering and build quality: Yale has a long-established reputation in Industrial Forklifts for durable frames, stable mast designs, and operator-focused ergonomics. That pedigree supports confidence in daily reliability and long-term serviceability.

Applications

This Yale NR040 fits a wide range of indoor material handling roles that demand vertical reach and agile handling in tight spaces. Typical applications include:

• High-bay warehousing with dense pallet racking layouts
• Retail and e-commerce distribution centers with fast-pick operations
• Manufacturing and assembly lines requiring frequent line-side replenishment
• Third-party logistics facilities balancing diverse SKU profiles and quick turn
• Food and beverage storage where quiet, emission-free operation is preferred
• General indoor pallet transport where precise load placement protects inventory

With its stand-up design and narrow aisle agility, this reach truck is particularly effective in facilities aiming to grow storage capacity without expanding building footprint. The combination of side shift and four way hydraulics makes it easier to set loads accurately, which can reduce rework and potential product damage.

Ownership Value

Electric Industrial Forklifts like this Yale NR040 can deliver compelling total cost of ownership advantages in the right duty cycle. Electricity typically costs less per operating hour than internal combustion fuel, and the absence of engine oil, spark plugs, and related components reduces routine maintenance. Quiet operation improves operator comfort and can lower ambient noise in large buildings. In addition, zero tailpipe emissions help meet indoor environmental objectives and may simplify ventilation requirements in some facilities.

The 4000# capacity and triple mast capability support a broad spectrum of warehouse tasks, so one truck can cover more ground across shifts. That flexibility helps keep fleet sizes efficient. The stand-up format also supports faster mounting and dismounting, which can add measurable productivity over many cycles.

Why This NR040 Stands Out

Several elements set this particular Yale NR040 apart for serious buyers evaluating used Industrial Forklifts:

• Low hours: With 205 hours, this unit has seen limited service, a key indicator for potential lifespan and reliability when paired with proper maintenance going forward.
• High-utility mast configuration: The triple mast’s low collapsed profile and tall maximum lift balance clearance and racking height, making it easier to deploy across mixed ceiling and rack conditions.
• Precision controls: Side shift and four way hydraulics enhance operator accuracy at height and in tight aisles, helping protect inventory and racks.
• Proven electric platform: The 24 volt electric system supports clean, consistent performance with simplified charging routines suitable for many warehouse schedules.
• Right-size capacity: The 4000# rating covers common pallet weights across distribution and light manufacturing, increasing utilization across departments.
