A lift truck to be a successful unit must be built powerful to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It needs to be able to move cargo effectively and quickly as well. The machine should be ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator as well.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain requires the power to always provide great durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs along with robust gears and really tough shafts. The transmission, engine, drive and steer axle are all isolated to lessen vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
Mazda and GM LP & Gas Engines:
The GM Gas and Mazda LP Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These kinds of equipment offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which needs minimal adjustment or repair. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which reduce wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Both the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engine provide a higher compression ratio leading to enhanced torque. Amazing fuel consumption is provided by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on nearly all machines. It features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts which provide resistance when driving on rough environment. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of preceding packs. Lastly, there is available electronic inching that adjusts automatically so as 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. As well, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is made for added durability with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are entirely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
In order to protect the steer cylinder for damage and debris, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods which can add extra stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. Moreover, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included a lot of safety features and ergonomic features. These machines will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator both safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
