A lift truck to be a successful unit should be built strong to last the working environments for many hours of use. It needs to be able to transport cargo efficiently and quickly too. The machine should be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator too.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It needs to be powerful enough to always deliver incredible durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated to lessen vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
Mazda and GM Gas & LP Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These kinds of equipment provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimum adjustment or repair. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which reduce wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Both the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engine provide a higher compression ratio leading to better torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15% stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs offer 3 times the life of preceding packs. Lastly, there is available electronic inching that automatically adjusts so as to reduce maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission utilizes computer-controlled power reversal to extend the life of the tires, to eliminate shock loading and increase durability. In addition, the auto deceleration feature reduces brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is made for extra durability with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are practically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to be able to protect the steer cylinder from debris and damage. It has fixed-length tie rods to add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. As well, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made numerous ergonomic features and safety features part of their regular packages. These machinery will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
