Powertrain
A forklift has to be tough enough to last for many hours of heavy operation in extreme settings. These equipment have to be able to move loads fast and efficiently whilst still being ergonomic to the operator. The rugged, dependable Yale powertrain provides superior durability through its extremely robust gears and shafts, state of the art clutch pack and computer managed engine and transmission. The engine, transmission, drive axle and steer axle are all isolated so as to lessen vibration and noise in the compartment of the operator.

Electrical
The lift trucks electrical system is responsible for connecting the major nerve centers of the truck. Thus, the electrical system within the lift truck should be dependable and durable for the most demanding hot/cold and dry/wet operations. There is much sophistication needed in order to control truck functionality.

Yale trucks are known for delivering reliable electronics. The Yale CANbus electrical system makes use of digital technology and reduces wiring and lessens electrical connections as well. This results in improved dependability and remarkable serviceability.

Hydraulics
The hydraulics are the "muscles" of the forklift. They give the necessary force needed to lift heavy loads during the entirety of a long shift. All Yale trucks feature industrial grade hydraulic components. Several of these components include: leak resistant O-ring face seal fittings, heavy-duty hydraulic valves, fine micron filters and long lasting hoist and tilt cylinders. The control valve has been strategically placed so as to prolong part life by reducing exposure to heat sources.

Yale's diesel forklifts offer extreme reliability and are recognized for withstanding harsh working situations and coming out on top. These equipment have been constructed in such a precise manner that attention to detail has been considered to be able to keep the operator as comfortable as possible.
