A forklift to be a successful model should be built strong to last the working environments for numerous hours of use. It must be able to transport loads effectively and quickly as well. The machine should also be both comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator.
The Yale powertrain is rugged and reliable. It needs to be strong enough to continually deliver amazing durability through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It offers state-of-the-art clutch packs along with really tough shafts and strong gears. The steer axle, drive, transmission and engine are all isolated in order to decrease vibration and noise 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 types of machinery offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimum repair or adjustment. These engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats that reduce wear.
Yanmar and Cummins Diesel Engines:
Within the Yanmar and Cummins diesel engines, a high compression ratio provides excellent torque. Incredible fuel consumption is provided by efficient fuel systems.
Standard Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The standard Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The strong clutch packs provide 3 times the life of preceding packs. Lastly, there is electronic inching available which automatically adjusts so as to lessen maintenance needs by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
This transmission system utilizes a computer-controlled power reversal that extends tire life, minimizes shock loading and increases durability. Moreover, the auto deceleration feature reduces break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
The Drive Axle is engineered for added strength with its full floating, brake drum mounting axle shaft and the pinion gears and strong ring. This component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are basically maintenance free and entirely sealed against contamination.
Steer Axle:
To protect the steer cylinder for damage and debris, 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 front to back and side-to-side forces. What's more, cast ductile iron axle increases toughness and reduces wear.
Yale had made a lot of ergonomic features and safety features part of their regular packages. These kinds of equipment would handle tough environments, while keeping the operator both comfortable and safe for the duration of their shift.
