In order to be a successful unit, a forklift has to be strong enough to last in all working conditions for many hours of use. It should be able to transport loads quickly and efficiently as well. The machine needs to also be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It needs to be powerful enough to constantly deliver incredible strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with really tough shafts and robust gears. The drive, steer axle, transmission and engine are all isolated to reduce noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimum adjustment or repair. These kinds of 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 efficient fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on most equipment. It features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts that provide resistance when driving on rough environment. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts in order to decrease maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system uses a computer-controlled power reversal which increases durability, extends tire life, and minimizes shock loading. What's more, the auto deceleration feature lessens both break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is designed for added durability with its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This specific part also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are completely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to protect the steer cylinder from debris and damage. It has fixed-length tie rods to add extra stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
As part of Yale's standard packages, they have included lots of ergonomic features and safety features. These machinery would handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
