A forklift to be a successful unit must be built powerful to last the working environments for many hours of use. It should be able to move cargo efficiently and quickly as well. The machine should be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator as well.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It needs to be strong enough to continually deliver amazing durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with extremely tough shafts and robust gears. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated to be able to lessen vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda Gas & LP Engines:
The GM Gas and Mazda LP Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These equipment provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimal adjustment or repair. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which lessen wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Inside the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Incredible fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of preceding packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available that automatically adjusts in order to lessen maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission uses computer-controlled power reversal to increase durability, extend the life of the tires and to eliminate shock loading. Furthermore, the auto deceleration feature reduces brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
Engineered for extra strength, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This particular part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are completely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to protect the steer cylinder from damage and debris. It has fixed-length tie rods to add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. In addition, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
As part of Yale's regular packages, they have included numerous ergonomic features and safety features. These machinery will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
