A lift truck to be a successful model should be built powerful to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It should be able to transport cargo effectively and quickly as well. The machinery must be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator too.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It has to be powerful enough to continually deliver amazing strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with really tough shafts and strong gears. The steer axle, drive, engine and transmission are all isolated so as to lessen noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
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 offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimum adjustment or repair. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which reduce wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Both the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engine offer a higher compression ratio leading to improved torque. Incredible fuel consumption is provided by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available that adjusts automatically so as to reduce 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. What's more, the auto deceleration feature lessens break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is engineered for extra durability with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are completely 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 extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. Also, 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 types of machinery will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
