A forklift to be a successful model must be built powerful to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It has to be able to move cargo effectively and quickly too. The machinery should be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator too.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It has to be strong enough to continually provide incredible durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The steer axle, drive, engine and transmission are all isolated to be able to decrease vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
Mazda and GM LP & Gas Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These equipment provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which needs minimum repair or adjustment. These kinds of 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 offers excellent torque. Incredible fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on nearly all machinery. It features gears which are 15 percent stronger and shafts that provide resistance when driving on rough terrain. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts so as to reduce maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal that extends tire life, minimizes shock loading and increases durability. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature lessens both break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Made for added durability, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are practically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
In order 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 can add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. Moreover, cast ductile iron axle reduces wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included numerous safety features and ergonomic features. These kinds of equipment will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
