A lift truck to be a successful unit should be built powerful to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It has to be able to move loads effectively and quickly too. The machine must also be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and reliable. The powertrain needs the power to always offer great strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with robust gears and really tough shafts. The transmission, engine, drive and steer axle are all isolated in order to reduce vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM LP & Gas Engines:
The GM Gas and Mazda LP Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These types of machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimal adjustment or repair. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers excellent torque. Incredible fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on the majority of machinery. It features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts which provide resistance when driving on rough terrain. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching which 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. Additionally, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is engineered for added durability 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 which are entirely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to protect the steer cylinder from debris and damage. 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. What's more, cast ductile iron axle reduces wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included numerous ergonomic features and safety features. These kinds of equipment will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
