A forklift to be a successful model should be built strong to last the working conditions for many hours of use. It should be able to move loads quickly and effectively too. The machinery should also be both ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain needs the power to constantly offer great strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with really tough shafts and strong gears. The engine, transmission, steer axle and drive are all isolated to decrease noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
GM & Mazda Gas & LP Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These machines provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which needs minimum repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which lessen wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Inside the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers exceptional torque. Incredible fuel consumption is provided by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15 percent stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available that adjusts automatically in order to decrease maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system uses a computer-controlled power reversal that increases durability, extends tire life, and minimizes shock loading. Also, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
Made for extra strength, the drive axle features its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This specific part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are practically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design 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 side-to-side and front to back forces. Additionally, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included lots of ergonomic features and safety features. These machinery will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
