In order to be a successful model, a forklift has to be powerful enough to last in all working environments for numerous hours of use. It should be able to move cargo quickly and effectively too. The equipment must be ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator as well.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain needs the power to always provide great durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs along with extremely tough shafts and strong gears. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated so as to lessen vibration and noise 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 machines offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimum repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that minimize wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Incredible fuel consumption is provided by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on nearly all machinery. It features gears that are 15% stronger and shafts that provide resistance when driving on rough terrain. The strong clutch packs offer 3 times the life of preceding packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts in order to decrease maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission uses computer-controlled power reversal to increase durability, extend the life of the tires and to eliminate shock loading. What's more, the auto deceleration feature reduces break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is designed for added strength with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This particular part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are entirely sealed against contamination and basically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to be able to protect the steer cylinder from damage and debris. It has fixed-length tie rods to add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made numerous safety features and ergonomic features part of their standard packages. These kinds of machinery would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
