Concrete Success

Creagh Concrete has taken delivery of the latest 7.0 Tonne capacity Yale Veracitor VX forklift trucks for handling pre-stressed and precast concrete products at its Newbridge plant near Edinburgh.
When handling 8 metre long concrete floor slabs weighing up to 4 tonnes each, the drivers operating the Yale Veracitor GDP70-VX counterbalance forklift trucks at Creagh Concrete know there is no room for error when loading the waiting trailers that will keep construction sites busy all over the UK.


Tough Application

Handling concrete products is one of the toughest applications for any forklift truck, as the abrasive dust can get everywhere. The designers of the Yale Veracitor VX 6 and 7 Tonne capacity forklift trucks know this only too well, which is why the latest Yale GDP/GLP60-70VX with a choice of diesel or LPG engines, is designed for the most intensive operations and demanding applications.

Recognised as one of the most productive forklift trucks in its class, the new Veracitor GDP/GLP60-70VX has power output increased to 74kW at 2200 rpm, increased gradeability and drawbar pull, with peak torque increased by 37%. The result of the faster acceleration, faster lift speeds and higher top speeds is greater productivity measured against the VDI cycle.
