A lift truck to be a successful unit must be built powerful to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It needs to be able to move cargo quickly and efficiently as well. The equipment needs to also be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It has to be powerful enough to always provide incredible strength through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with strong gears and really tough shafts. The drive, steer axle, engine and transmission are all isolated to reduce vibration and noise 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 provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that requires minimal repair or adjustment. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which minimize wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers excellent torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on nearly all equipment. It features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts which provide resistance when driving on rough environment. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching which adjusts automatically so as to reduce maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission uses computer-controlled power reversal to eliminate shock loading, increase durability and extend the life of the tires. As well, the auto deceleration feature reduces both break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Made for extra strength, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This specific part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are basically maintenance free and entirely sealed against contamination.
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. Furthermore, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made many ergonomic features and safety features part of their standard packages. These machinery will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the length of their shift.
