A forklift to be a successful unit should be built powerful to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It needs to be able to move loads quickly and effectively as well. The machinery must be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator too.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and reliable. The powertrain needs the power to always offer great durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs along with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The drive, steer axle, engine and transmission are all isolated to lessen vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.
GM & Mazda Gas & LP Engines:
GM's gas engines and Mazda's LP engine utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These equipment provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimal repair or adjustment. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that minimize 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 which are 15% stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available which adjusts automatically in order to decrease maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system uses a computer-controlled power reversal which increases durability, extends tire life, and minimizes shock loading. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature reduces brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
Designed for extra durability, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This specific component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are completely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
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 could add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included lots of ergonomic features and safety features. These equipment will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both safe and comfortable for the length of their shift.
