In order to be a successful model, a forklift has to be powerful enough to last in all working conditions for many hours of use. It must be able to transport cargo quickly and efficiently as well. The equipment should be both ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator as well.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain requires the power to continually offer great durability through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with really tough shafts and robust gears. The engine, transmission, drive and steer axle are all isolated so as to reduce noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
GM & Mazda Gas & LP Engines:
The Mazda LP and GM Gas Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These types of machinery offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimal adjustment or repair. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Both the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engine offer a higher compression ratio leading to improved torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available which 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 increases durability, extends tire life, and minimizes shock loading. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature lessens both break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is made for extra durability with its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are completely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
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 could add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. Additionally, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made numerous safety features and ergonomic features part of their standard packages. These machinery will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
