A forklift to be a successful model must be built strong to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It should be able to transport cargo quickly and efficiently too. The equipment should be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator as well.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It has to be strong enough to constantly deliver incredible durability through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The drive, steer axle, engine and transmission are all isolated to reduce noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimal repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides exceptional torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15 percent stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available that automatically adjusts so as to reduce maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission utilizes computer-controlled power reversal to increase durability, extend the life of the tires and to eliminate shock loading. Additionally, the auto deceleration feature reduces brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is made for added durability with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This particular component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that 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 damage and debris. It has fixed-length tie rods to add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle reduces wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included a lot of ergonomic features and safety features. These machinery will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
