A lift truck to be a successful unit must be built powerful to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It must be able to move cargo effectively and quickly too. The machine should be 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 strong gears. The steer axle, drive, engine and transmission are all isolated in order to lessen noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
GM's gas engines and Mazda's LP engine use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These equipment provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimum adjustment or repair. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which lessen 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 provided by efficient 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 previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available that adjusts automatically in order to lessen maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal that extends tire life, minimizes shock loading and increases durability. Furthermore, the auto deceleration feature lessens break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Designed for added strength, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This particular part 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 damage and debris, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods that could add more stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. Furthermore, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included numerous safety features and ergonomic features. These kinds of machinery would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
