In order to be a successful unit, a lift truck has to be strong enough to last in all working conditions for many hours of use. It should be able to transport loads quickly and effectively too. The machinery has to also be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain requires the power to always provide great durability through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with extremely tough shafts and robust gears. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated to lessen both vibration and noise 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 offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which needs minimal repair or adjustment. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Inside the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides exceptional torque. Incredible fuel consumption is provided by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching that automatically adjusts 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. What's more, the auto deceleration feature reduces break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is engineered for added 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 that are basically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to protect the steer cylinder from damage and debris. It has fixed-length tie rods to add more durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. Additionally, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made a lot of ergonomic features and safety features part of their standard packages. These equipment will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the length of their shift.
