A lift truck to be a successful unit should be built powerful to last the working environments for many hours of use. It has to be able to transport loads quickly and effectively as well. The equipment has to be both ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator too.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain needs the power to continually provide great durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with extremely tough shafts and strong gears. The steer axle, drive, engine and transmission are all isolated to reduce vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM LP & Gas Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These machines provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that requires minimum adjustment or repair. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that lessen wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Both the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engine offer a higher compression ratio leading to improved torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15% 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 electronic inching available which automatically adjusts in order to decrease maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission utilizes computer-controlled power reversal to increase durability, extend the life of the tires and to eliminate shock loading. What's more, the auto deceleration feature reduces brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is designed for extra durability with its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are practically maintenance free and entirely 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 stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. As well, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's regular packages, they have included numerous safety features and ergonomic features. These equipment will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
