A lift truck to be a successful model should be built powerful to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It must be able to move cargo quickly and effectively as well. The equipment should be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator as well.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It needs to be powerful enough to always deliver incredible strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with robust gears and really tough shafts. The engine, transmission, drive and steer axle are all isolated so as to lessen noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda Gas & LP Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These equipment offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that requires minimum repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Inside the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides exceptional torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is available electronic inching that automatically adjusts so as to lessen maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal which minimizes shock loading, increases durability and extends tire life. As well, the auto deceleration feature reduces both brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
Made for added durability, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are entirely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
To protect the steer cylinder for debris and damage, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods that can add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. Additionally, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made many safety features and ergonomic features part of their regular packages. These machines would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
