A forklift to be a successful model must be built powerful to last the working environments for many hours of use. It should be able to transport loads effectively and quickly as well. The equipment must 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 provide great strength through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with extremely tough shafts and strong gears. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated in order to reduce both noise and vibration inside of the operator's compartment.
Mazda and GM Gas & LP Engines:
GM's gas engines and Mazda's LP engine utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These machinery offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimum adjustment or repair. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which lessen wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Inside the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers exceptional torque. Amazing fuel consumption is provided by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on the majority of equipment. It features gears that are 15 percent stronger and shafts that give resistance when driving on rough environment. The strong clutch packs provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts in order to reduce maintenance requirements 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 lessens brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is made for extra strength with its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are basically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
To protect the steer cylinder for debris and damage, the Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design. This Steer Axle also has a fixed-length tie rods that can add extra durability and stability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. In addition, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
Yale had made lots of safety features and ergonomic features part of their standard packages. These equipment will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
