A lift truck to be a successful model must be built strong to last the working environments for many hours of use. It must be able to transport loads efficiently and quickly too. The machine should also be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It has to be strong enough to continually deliver incredible durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides 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 reduce vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda Gas & LP Engines:
The Mazda LP and GM Gas Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These equipment offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which needs minimal adjustment or repair. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that lessen wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Both the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engine provide a higher compression ratio leading to improved torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15% stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of preceding packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available that adjusts automatically so as to decrease maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal that increases durability, extends tire life, and minimizes shock loading. What's more, the auto deceleration feature lessens break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is designed for added strength with its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This particular part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are practically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
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 stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included lots of safety features and ergonomic features. These machines would handle tough environments, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the length of their shift.
