A lift truck to be a successful model must be built strong to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It should be able to transport cargo efficiently and quickly too. The machine needs to be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator too.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and reliable. The powertrain needs the power to continually offer great durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with really tough shafts and strong gears. The transmission, engine, steer axle and drive are all isolated to be able to decrease noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
The GM Gas and Mazda LP Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimal repair or adjustment. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which minimize wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Inside the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15 percent stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is available electronic inching that automatically adjusts so as to decrease maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal that extends tire life, minimizes shock loading and increases durability. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is designed for extra durability with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This specific component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are practically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
In order 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 which can add more durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. Also, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made many ergonomic features and safety features part of their standard packages. These machinery would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
