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