Yale Forklift – E, G and P in the type code mark power source and tyres
Yale's type code for both IC and electric trucks follows a clear building-block logic: the first letter marks the power source — "E" for electric, "G" for gasoline, "GL" for LPG, and "GD" for diesel. The next position denotes the tyres: "C" for cushion (solid) tyres, mainly for indoor use, "P" for pneumatic tyres with better outdoor capability. The closing digits code capacity in hundreds of pounds.

This yields combinations such as GDP (diesel, pneumatic) or GLP (LPG, pneumatic), found for example in the current VX range for the 4,000–5,500 kg bracket. The database also lists older, lighter series such as GC-CA, GC-LJ or GC-MJ.
Models recorded in SpecCodex span own weights of 2,766 to 18,710 kg, capacities of 1,360.8 to 45,000 kg, lift heights of 2,740 to 7,010 mm, and 4 to 6 cylinders — a range running from light warehouse trucks to the heavy series for container and heavy-load transport, represented by models such as HDF35, HDF45, HDF50 or HDF70.
For a used Yale, beyond the usual mast and carriage check, it is worth assessing whether the tyre type matches the intended use: cushion tyres wear noticeably faster on uneven outdoor ground, while pneumatic tyres create unnecessary rolling resistance on smooth warehouse floors. The load chart shows up to what load-centre distance the rated capacity actually still applies.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
