A lift truck to be a successful model should be built powerful to last the working conditions for many hours of use. It needs to be able to move loads quickly and effectively too. The equipment must be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator as well.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain needs the power to always offer great durability through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with robust gears and extremely tough shafts. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated in order to decrease noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM Gas & LP Engines:
The Mazda LP and GM Gas Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These machinery offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimum adjustment or repair. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which minimize wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers exceptional torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is provided by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15% stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs provide 3 times the life of preceding packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available which adjusts automatically in order to lessen maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system uses a computer-controlled power reversal that minimizes shock loading, increases durability and extends tire life. As well, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
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 completely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
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 that could add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. As well, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
Yale had made many safety features and ergonomic features part of their standard packages. These machines will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
