In order to be a successful unit, a forklift has to be strong enough to last in all working environments for numerous hours of use. It must be able to move cargo quickly and effectively too. The machine should also be both ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It has to be powerful enough to continually deliver incredible strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with strong gears and really tough shafts. The engine, transmission, drive and steer axle are all isolated to lessen noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
GM's gas engines and Mazda's LP engine utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that requires minimal repair or adjustment. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Within the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Incredible fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching that automatically adjusts in order to lessen maintenance needs 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. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is designed for extra strength with its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This particular component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are entirely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
In order to protect the steer cylinder for damage and debris, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods that can add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. Also, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included lots of safety features and ergonomic features. These machinery will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
