The Yale GDP/GLP 60-80VX forklift series is designed for demanding material handling operations that require high lifting capacity, controlled truck performance and configuration flexibility. With rated capacities ranging from 6,000 kg to 8,000 kg, the range includes diesel-powered GDP models and LPG-powered GLP models, with selected variants offering different load-centre configurations.
The series offers pneumatic tyres, seated operator configurations, electronic powershift transmission options and mast choices to suit different lifting requirements.

The Yale GDP/GLP 60-80VX series is a range of four-wheel, seated forklift trucks designed for handling substantial loads. Its model and configuration choices allow businesses to consider different rated capacities, lifting heights, load centres, power sources and transmission options.
For operations looking for heavy-duty material handling equipment in Saudi Arabia, selecting the right forklift involves more than rated capacity alone. Load dimensions, lift height, attachments, working conditions and the frequency of operation should also be assessed.
The series includes two principal model designations:
The specifications includes Kubota V3600 and V3800 diesel engines, as well as the Kubota WG3800-L-E3 LPG engine. Engine emissions standards and availability vary by configuration. Confirm the suitable powertrain for the intended Saudi Arabian application before ordering.
Depending on the model and configuration, the range includes electronic two-speed powershift transmission and advanced three-speed Techtronix transmission options. The options include electronic two-speed powershift with soft-shift power reversal, Techtronix 332 and Techtronix 332+. These configurations allow buyers to evaluate the transmission features available for their specific operating requirements.
The series offers two-stage limited-free-lift (LFL) and three-stage full-free-lift (FFL) mast configurations, with different lifting heights depending on the truck variant. The specification includes mast options with maximum fork heights ranging from approximately 3,000 mm to 6,565 mm across the listed models. Actual capacity depends on the forklift model, load centre, mast, sideshift arrangement and other equipment. Refer to the capacity data for the exact configuration before selecting a truck.
The listed models use pneumatic tyres and a four-wheel configuration. These specifications should be assessed against the surfaces and operating conditions at the intended site. Depending on the configuration, the series also includes wet brakes, a hydraulic service-brake specification, an overhead guard, a full-suspension seat and operator-focused controls. Equipment and features may differ between variants.
Selecting a suitable heavy-duty forklift or material handling equipment requires reviewing the intended load, lift height, operating hours, travel routes and attachment requirements. AHCL can help customers in Saudi Arabia discuss their equipment requirements, request a quotation and enquire about genuine Yale manufacturer spare parts and after-sales service.

The Yale GDP/GLP 60–80VX series is intended for operations that need to handle heavy loads using high-capacity forklift equipment. The correct model and configuration should be selected according to the load, site conditions and operating requirements.
Potential applications to evaluate include:
The appropriate forklift depends on the load weight and dimensions, load centre, required lift height, attachment selection, floor or ground conditions, working hours and preferred fuel type. For loads handled at height or with attachments, confirm the rated-capacity chart for the exact configuration.
What is the lifting capacity of the Yale GDP/GLP 60–80VX series?
The model family covers rated capacities from 6,000 kg to 8,000 kg. The GDP 60VX and GLP 60VX are listed at 6,000 kg; the 70-series variants are listed at 7,000 kg; and the 80SVX variants are listed at 8,000 kg. Load-centre and configuration differences affect permissible capacity.
What is the difference between GDP and GLP forklifts?
GDP designations refer to the diesel-powered models, while GLP designations refer to LPG-powered models. The available engine, transmission and emissions configurations depend on the specific variant.
What is the difference between the 70VX and 70SVX9?
The 70VX and 70SVX models have a 600 mm load centre. The 70SVX9 is specified with a 900 mm load centre. Load-centre differences affect the rated-capacity assessment, so the correct capacity chart must be checked for the intended load.
What mast options are available?
The specification lists two-stage limited-free-lift and three-stage full-free-lift mast configurations. Maximum fork height and overall mast dimensions vary by model and mast selection. Contact AHCL to discuss the required lifting height and overhead clearance.
Which transmission options are available?
Depending on the model, the series includes electronic two-speed powershift, electronic two-speed powershift with soft-shift power reversal, Techtronix 332 and Techtronix 332+ three-speed transmission options. Confirm which transmission is available with the selected truck.
Can the forklift use attachments?
Attachment hydraulic specifications and selected attachment-related equipment are documented for the range. Compatibility and the effect on rated capacity must be checked for the exact forklift, mast and attachment combination.
Are these forklifts suitable for outdoor use?
The models use pneumatic tyres, but suitability depends on the surface, ground conditions, load, operating environment and selected configuration. Discuss your site conditions with AHCL before selecting a forklift.
