The line

Why we quote Yale

The most useful thing to know about Yale is its link to Hyster. Both are part of Hyster-Yale. They share a lot of engineering and parts, plus a service network. Hyster is aimed at heavy industry. Yale is aimed more at warehouse and distribution work.

That makes Yale a good fit for distribution buildings along I-76, I-77 and I-271. Yale warehouse trucks are built for finished floors and racked storage. Used units from clean warehouses often had an easier life than a yard truck of the same age.

Price is the draw. Used Yales often sell below used Toyotas for similar spec and condition. They do not carry the parts risk of rarer makes. We sell used Yales in Summit, Stark, Portage, Medina, Wayne and Cuyahoga counties.

Before you buy

Buying a used Yale forklift: what to check

These checks separate a good used truck from an expensive one. You can make every one of them before you commit.

  1. 1

    Parts support is the same as Hyster

    Hyster-Yale is one company, so a used Yale has the same parts and service depth as a Hyster.

  2. 2

    Ask where it worked

    A Yale from a clean warehouse has usually had an easier life than one from a yard. Where a truck worked matters more than its age.

  3. 3

    Battery age on electric units

    The battery is the biggest hidden cost on a used electric truck. We ask for its age and condition, not just truck hours.

  4. 4

    Mast and chain measurement

    Chain stretch and worn mast rollers most often make a cheap truck expensive. We measure both before you buy.
