A forklift to be a successful unit should be built powerful to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It must be able to transport cargo quickly and effectively too. The equipment must also be ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It needs to be powerful enough to continually provide amazing durability through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with robust gears and really tough shafts. The engine, transmission, steer axle and drive are all isolated to be able to lessen noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
The Mazda LP and GM Gas Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimal repair or adjustment. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which reduce wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers excellent torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on nearly all machines. It features gears which are 15 percent stronger and shafts that provide resistance when driving on rough environment. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching that adjusts automatically so as to lessen maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal which minimizes shock loading, increases durability and extends tire life. Furthermore, the auto deceleration feature lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
Designed for added durability, the drive axle features its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This particular part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are completely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
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 which could add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. As well, cast ductile iron axle reduces wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included many ergonomic features and safety features. These machinery would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
