Used & Refurbished Yale Forklifts for Sale

Yale has been manufacturing forklifts since 1920, making it one of the oldest names in the industry. Yale and Hyster share the same engineering platform under the NACCO Industries umbrella, which means Yale machines benefit from decades of shared development, robust component sourcing, and wide parts availability across North America. For buyers who want a proven, dependable machine without the premium pricing of Toyota, Yale consistently offers strong value across their product range.

Yale's cushion tire lineup covers standard warehouse applications from 3,000 to 12,000 pounds. The GLC and ERC series are the bread-and-butter machines for indoor warehousing, manufacturing floors, and distribution dock work. They handle standard pallet loads reliably, resist the mechanical fatigue that comes with high-cycle operations, and are straightforward to maintain. Yale cushion tire units are found in operations of every size across every major industry vertical.

On the pneumatic side, Yale's GP and GLP series handle outdoor and rough terrain applications with the durability you need when machines are working on asphalt, gravel, or uneven dock surfaces. These units run LP gas or diesel and are built to handle the demands of lumber yards, building supply operations, container handling, and heavy manufacturing environments. The heavier capacity Yale pneumatics, running from 8,000 to 15,500 pounds, are well regarded for applications where standard 5,000 pound machines fall short.

Yale electric forklifts, particularly the ERC series, compete directly with Toyota and Crown in the indoor warehouse segment. These machines offer zero emissions for food, pharmaceutical, and beverage facilities, and their lower maintenance overhead compared to internal combustion units makes them a practical choice for single-shift operations. On a refurbished Yale electric, battery health is the key variable to evaluate. A machine with a healthy battery is a strong long-term buy at a fraction of new pricing.

Parts availability for Yale is excellent. Because Yale and Hyster share significant component overlap, the combined parts ecosystem is one of the largest in the industry. Independent repair shops are familiar with Yale machines, and replacement parts are stocked by dealers and online suppliers nationwide. That broad service infrastructure means you are never far from support when a machine needs attention.
