A lift truck to be a successful unit should be built strong to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It needs to be able to transport loads efficiently and quickly as well. The equipment needs to be both ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator too.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It needs to be powerful enough to continually deliver incredible strength through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The drive, steer axle, transmission and engine are all isolated to decrease vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM Gas & LP 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 minimum adjustment or repair. These kinds 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 provides excellent torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on most equipment. It features gears which are 15 percent stronger and shafts that give resistance when driving on rough terrain. The strong clutch packs offer 3 times the life of preceding packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts so as to reduce maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system uses a computer-controlled power reversal which minimizes shock loading, increases durability and extends tire life. Also, the auto deceleration feature lessens both break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is engineered for extra strength with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This specific part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are entirely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to be able to protect the steer cylinder from debris and damage. It has fixed-length tie rods to add more stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
As part of Yale's regular packages, they have included numerous safety features and ergonomic features. These kinds of machinery would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
