In order to be a successful model, a forklift needs to be powerful enough to last in all working environments for many hours of use. It should be able to move cargo efficiently and quickly as well. The machinery must also be both ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It needs to be strong enough to continually provide amazing durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs along with really tough shafts and strong gears. The engine, transmission, drive and steer axle are all isolated to lessen 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 kinds of machines provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimal adjustment or repair. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Inside the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of preceding packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching 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 eliminate shock loading, increase durability and extend the life of the tires. In addition, the auto deceleration feature lessens both break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Engineered for extra durability, the drive axle features its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are basically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
To protect the steer cylinder for debris and damage, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods which could add more durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. Furthermore, cast ductile iron axle reduces wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included many ergonomic features and safety features. These kinds of equipment will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the length of their shift.
