A forklift to be a successful unit should be built strong to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It should be able to transport cargo efficiently and quickly as well. The machine should be ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator too.
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 combined with robust gears and really tough shafts. The engine, transmission, steer axle and drive are all isolated to decrease noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
GM & Mazda LP & Gas Engines:
GM's gas engines and Mazda's LP engine utilize cast iron blocks to promote long life. These types of machines provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that requires minimal repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that lessen wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Within the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Amazing fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The electronic powershift transmission is standard on most machinery. It features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts which provide resistance when driving on rough terrain. The durable clutch packs provide 3 times the life of preceding packs. Lastly, there is available electronic inching 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. As well, the auto deceleration feature lessens both brake wear and brake pedal usage.
Drive Axle:
Engineered for extra durability, the drive axle features its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This particular component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are completely sealed against contamination and practically maintenance free.
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. Moreover, cast ductile iron axle lessens wear and increases toughness.
Yale had made lots of ergonomic features and safety features part of their regular packages. These machinery will handle tough settings, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
