A forklift to be a successful model should be built powerful to last the working conditions for many hours of use. It must be able to move cargo quickly and effectively as well. The machine must be comfortable and ergonomically correct for the operator too.
The Yale powertrain is reliable and rugged. It needs to be strong enough to constantly deliver incredible strength through its computer-managed transmission and engine. It provides state-of-the-art clutch packs along with strong gears and extremely tough shafts. The transmission, engine, steer axle and drive are all isolated in order to decrease both vibration and noise inside of the operator's compartment.
Mazda and GM LP & Gas Engines:
The Mazda LP and GM Gas Engines are made from cast-iron blocks for long life. These equipment offer an electronically-controlled closed loop fuel system which requires minimal repair or adjustment. These kinds of engines also have hardened exhaust valve seats which minimize wear.
Cummins and Yanmar Diesel Engines:
Inside the Cummins and Yanmar diesel engines, a high compression ratio offers exceptional torque. Incredible fuel consumption is offered by efficient fuel systems.
Regular Electronic Powershift Transmission:
The regular Electronic Powershift Transmission features gears which are 15% stronger and shafts that maximize resistance to rough driving. The durable clutch packs offer 3 times the life of previous packs. Last of all, there is available electronic inching which automatically adjusts in order to decrease maintenance requirements by compensating for brake wear.
Techtronix Transmission:
The Techtronix Transmission uses computer-controlled power reversal to eliminate shock loading, increase durability and extend the life of the tires. Furthermore, the auto deceleration feature reduces break pedal usage and break wear.
Drive Axle:
Designed for added strength, the drive axle features its brake drum mounting, full floating axle shaft and the strong ring and pinion gears. This particular component also has optional oil cooled wet disc brakes that are practically maintenance free and completely 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 that could add extra stability and durability. The tapered roller bearings help to resist front to back and side-to-side forces. In addition, cast ductile iron axle reduces wear and increases toughness.
Yale had made many ergonomic features and safety features part of their standard packages. These kinds of machines would handle tough environments, while keeping the operator comfortable and safe for the length of their shift.
