Advantages

• High-capacity handling: Move heavy pallets, steel bundles, lumber packs, precast, and other dense materials with confidence thanks to the truck’s robust rating. This helps consolidate lifts, reduce cycle counts, and boost throughput in busy yards.
• Diesel power: Strong low-end torque and dependable performance make diesel an ideal choice for outdoor or mixed-use environments. It’s well-suited to long shifts and variable terrain while maintaining efficient fuel consumption.
• Heated cab comfort: A heated operator environment supports productivity in cold conditions by improving comfort and maintaining clear visibility. The missing door is a practical consideration for buyers who may operate primarily in milder climates—or who plan an easy replacement to fully enclose the cab.
• Fork positioner efficiency: Adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the seat to match different pallet widths and load profiles. This feature saves time, reduces the need for manual adjustments, and minimizes the risk of fork-related product damage.
• Compact travel height: The collapsed double mast configuration supports transport through overhead constraints such as doorways, mezzanines, and low-clearance work areas, helping you reach more of your facility without reconfiguring routes.
• Productive lift height: The available lift reach enables efficient stacking, racking, and loading/unloading in most industrial settings while maintaining good load visibility and balance.
• Three-way hydraulics control: Smooth, responsive hydraulic functions provide precise load handling. This improves placement accuracy, helps protect product integrity, and supports faster cycle times with confident operator control.
• Wide carriage stability: The broad carriage width increases lateral load support for long or awkward materials, improving stability and reducing the chance of load shift or product damage during travel and placement.
• Yale durability: Yale has a long track record for building rugged, reliable forklifts with straightforward service access and strong parts availability—attributes that reduce downtime and maintenance costs over the life of the machine.

Applications

• Lumber and building materials: Ideal for moving long packs, engineered wood, sheet goods, and palletized materials in mills, distribution centers, and retail yards.
• Metal and fabrication: Handles steel plate, bar stock, coil on pallets, fabricated assemblies, and heavy tooling with the stability and control needed in fabrication shops and warehouses.
• Concrete and precast: Supports dense blocks, pavers, and precast products with steady, predictable handling characteristics in yard environments.
• Manufacturing and industrial plants: Efficiently moves heavy components, molds, dies, and finished goods between work cells, docks, and staging areas, improving internal logistics flow.
• Ports, terminals, and freight: Capable of handling heavy freight, oversized pallets, and industrial cargo in outdoor or mixed environments where diesel power excels.
• Recycling and waste operations: Sturdy build and controlled hydraulics make it a good fit for dense bales and bulk materials that demand reliable lift performance and careful load placement.
• Rental fleets: A versatile, high-capacity configuration with familiar controls makes this model a practical choice for rental providers serving industrial customers.

Ownership Value

Investing in a used Yale GDC155 gives you high-end capability without the depreciation hit associated with new equipment. Diesel power delivers dependable performance and long service intervals when maintained properly. The wide carriage, precise hydraulics, and operator-focused ergonomics translate into real gains in uptime and productivity. Yale’s reputation for build quality and parts support keeps service straightforward and predictable. For operations that move heavy loads daily, the combination of capacity, control, and comfort can generate immediate ROI by reducing load cycles, cutting down on manual fork adjustments, and helping operators work more efficiently across full shifts.

Why This GDC155
