A lift truck to be a successful model should be built strong to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It must be able to move loads efficiently and quickly too. The equipment has to also be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It needs to be strong enough to continually deliver amazing strength through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with really tough shafts and strong gears. The engine, transmission, drive and steer axle are all isolated so as to reduce vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These kinds of machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimal adjustment or repair. These 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. Incredible fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is available electronic inching which adjusts automatically so as to lessen maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission utilizes computer-controlled power reversal to extend the life of the tires, to eliminate shock loading and increase durability. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature reduces break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Engineered for added strength, the drive axle features 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 that are entirely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to protect the steer cylinder from damage and debris. 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. As well, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
As part of Yale's regular packages, they have included numerous ergonomic features and safety features. These types of machines will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
