A lift truck to be a successful model must be built powerful to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It needs to be able to transport cargo quickly and efficiently as well. The machine must also be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and reliable. The powertrain needs the power to always provide great durability through its computer-managed engine and transmission. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The engine, transmission, drive and steer axle are all isolated in order to reduce both vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM Gas & LP Engines:
Mazda's LP engine and GM's gas engines use cast iron blocks to promote long life. These kinds of machinery provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that needs minimal adjustment or repair. These types of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which minimize wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Inside the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers excellent torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Standard 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 provide 3 times the life of previous packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts so as to decrease maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system uses a computer-controlled power reversal which minimizes shock loading, increases durability and extends tire life. What's more, the auto deceleration feature reduces brake wear and brake pedal usage.
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 component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are basically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
In order 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 which can add more stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist side-to-side and front to back forces. In addition, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
Yale had made lots of safety features and ergonomic features part of their regular packages. These kinds of machinery will handle tough environments, while keeping the operator both safe and comfortable for the length of their shift.
