About Yale forklifts
Yale forklifts are part of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling. According to Hyster-Yale, Yale & Towne Manufacturing expanded from locks into materials handling in 1875 with patents for hand-powered chain hoists, and the Yale brand went on to become one of the best-known names in lift trucks.
Yale equipment on our list
Our eligible equipment list includes Yale forklifts. Yale builds electric and internal-combustion counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers and pallet trucks used in warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing plants and lumber yards.
How lenders view forklifts
Forklifts are common, widely resold assets. Lenders review capacity, power type (electric, propane or diesel), hours, mast type and, for electric trucks, battery and charger condition. Batteries can be a large part of an electric forklift's value. Fleets of forklifts are often financed together.
Financing Yale forklifts
Many businesses finance forklifts with a lease that can include service or a planned replacement cycle. Lenders review the business's financials and how the forklifts support operations. Dealer programs and independent lenders can both be compared.
How Yale equipment financing works
Most Yale purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.

Tax treatment of Yale equipment
In Canada, machinery used to manufacture or process goods has its own CCA classes (Class 43 and Class 53), and which one applies depends on the asset and purchase date. Confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
