MPB-VG

MOTORIZED HAND LOW LIFT PALLET

4,500 lbs
Yale motorized hand trucks combine
the latest in state-of-the-art technology
and ergonomics making Yale the
leader for walkie applications.
Controls
The ergonomically designed handle
minimizes wrist movement and
provides a solid grip for additional
control while operating the unit. Lift,
lower, and horn push buttons are
conveniently located at the operators
fingertips. The butterfly throttle control
provides multiple grip positions,
minimizing operator fatigue while
allowing travel direction and speed to
be selected by rotating the actuator in
the desired direction of travel.
Maneuverability and the operating
position are optimized for transporting
loads by the mid-mounted control
handle. The Creep Speed can be
enabled with the handle in full upright
position as well as in the run position
when positioning loads in confined
spaces.
The Traction Reversing Switch
located on top of the handle
simultaneously reverses truck direction
and sounds the horn should it come
in contact with the operator. The wrap
around design provides a large area of
contact for the operator.
User Selectable
Performance Modes
The truck offers a choice of three
pre-programmed performance
modes that are selectable through
the control handle. These modes
alter the acceleration, deceleration
and top speed of the truck, enabling
the performance of the truck to be
optimized for the particular work
environment or the work cycle.
Mode 1 Economy mode
(battery saver) Soft acceleration;
reduced top travel speed with auto
deceleration

Mode 2 Performance with auto

deceleration Medium acceleration;
reduced top travel speed with auto
deceleration
Mode 3 Performance without
auto deceleration Maximum
acceleration; maximum top travel
speed without auto deceleration

Hydraulic Components
The lift pump and motor assembly
features a 1.2 kw permanent magnet
motor and translucent hydraulic tank.
The permanent magnet motor provides
high efficiency and low noise. The
translucent tank provides quick and
easy inspection of hydraulic oil level.

Electrical System
The MPB-VG electrical system is
designed with uptime and reliability
in mind. Industry leading technology,
CANbus Communications, Hall Effect
Sensors, Proximity Switches and
Transistor Controller are incorporated
into the design, reducing the number
of wires, connectors, switches
and contactors. The 200 Amp
AC transistorized motor controller
provides improved acceleration and
high performance top speeds when
loaded.

Forks and Frame

The 46" heavy duty, formed, boxed-in,
steel forks are fabricated for strength
and robustness. An integrated fork
torsion box, heavy duty torsion bar
and linkage all work together to reduce
torsional twisting and load sway. The
highly engineered heavy duty drive
frame casting and weldment are the
backbone of the MPB, featuring tightly
controlled tolerances. All pivot points
incorporate "X" groove bushings and
hardened, nickel-plated flag pins
to resist corrosion. All pivot points
include high pressure grease fittings
for servicing.

A standard display gauge allows

for viewing of hour meter and
battery state of charge. All units are
equipped with low battery lift interrupt.
Programmable features include, top
speed, acceleration rate and auto
deceleration.
Traction System
The AC traction system consists
of the traction motor, gearbox, and
brake. The UL listed traction motor is
vertically mounted and fully enclosed
to shield it from contamination and
is stationary which reduces strain on
wiring during cornering. The proven
gearbox design includes a large,
maintenance free, sealed turntable
steer bearing. Heat treated gears are
lubricated in an oil bath to provide
long life. The maintenance free
electromechanical brake is topmounted on the traction motor,
shielding it from debris and
contamination.

Pallet Entry and Exit

Yale fork design provides industry
leading pallet entry and exit. Standard
fork tips feature a tapered fork
nose and blunt ends to allow for
repositioning of pallets and enhances
pallet entry.

power cord. The battery capacity is

170 Ah at a 6 hour rate (201 Ah at a
20 hour) rate. To charge the batteries,
simply plug the power cord into the
battery charge port and outlet. The
charger automatically prevents the
truck from being operated.

Wheels, Tires, and Casters

The standard load wheel configuration
is a single load wheel with two roller
bearings for long life. A knock-out
axle provides for quick and easy
maintenance. A 10" x 4" pressed-on
rubber drive tire is standard. The drive
wheel is secured to the drive axle with
5 bolts.

Additional Features
Standard equipment includes key
switch, electronic horn, Creep Speed,
cowl mounted battery disconnect
switch, and battery discharge indicator
with hour meter display.

Load Wheel Positioning

The integrated extended runner
surface supports the fork inside the
pallet preventing the load wheel and
linkage from dropping down into the
pallet opening. The rear angle of the
runner surface matches the entry
angle to allow for smooth exit from
pallets. A minimized skid shoe under
clearance reduces load wheel impact
on pallet boards.
Battery Pack and Charger
Two battery box configurations
are available. Various choices of
battery compartment sizes, power
alternatives, and on-board, chassis
mounted smart chargers are available.
The battery pack consists of four
premium 6-volt, deep-cycle flooded
cell batteries. The top batteries swing
out to enable easy inspection and
maintenance of the lower batteries.
The charger operates from a 110-volt
outlet and includes a detachable AC
