A lift truck to be a successful unit must be built strong to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It should be able to move loads quickly and efficiently too. The equipment needs to also be ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It needs to be powerful enough to always deliver amazing strength through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs combined with really tough shafts and robust gears. The transmission, engine, steer axle and drive are all isolated to lessen vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM Gas & LP Engines:
The Mazda LP and GM Gas Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These types of equipment offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which needs minimum repair or adjustment. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that minimize wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Both the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engine offer a higher compression ratio leading to better torque. Amazing fuel consumption is provided by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching that automatically adjusts so as to reduce maintenance requirements 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. What's more, the auto deceleration feature reduces break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Engineered for added strength, the drive axle features 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 which are basically maintenance free and entirely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
In order to protect the steer cylinder for damage and debris, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods that can add more durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. Additionally, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
Yale had made lots of ergonomic features and safety features part of their standard packages. These machines would handle tough environments, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
