A forklift to be a successful model should be built strong to last the working conditions for numerous hours of use. It must be able to transport loads quickly and effectively too. The machine must be ergonomically correct and comfortable for the operator too.
Yale's powertrain is both rugged and dependable. The powertrain needs the power to constantly 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, engine and transmission are all isolated to be able to reduce noise and vibration inside the compartment of the operator.
Mazda and GM LP & Gas Engines:
The GM Gas and Mazda LP Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These kinds of machines provide an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system that requires minimum repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that lessen wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Within the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers excellent torque. Remarkable fuel consumption is offered by effective fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears that are 15% stronger and shafts which maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of preceding packs. Last of all, there is electronic inching available which adjusts automatically so as to reduce maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission utilizes computer-controlled power reversal to increase durability, extend the life of the tires and to eliminate shock loading. Furthermore, 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 particular component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes which are basically maintenance free and completely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
The Steer Axle features a "sandwich" design to protect the steer cylinder from damage and debris. It has fixed-length tie rods to add more 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 increases toughness and lessens wear.
Yale had made a lot of safety features and ergonomic features part of their standard packages. These kinds of machinery would handle tough environments, while keeping the operator safe and comfortable for the duration of their shift.
