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

Electrical
The electrical system of the lift truck is responsible for linking the major nerve centers of the truck. Thus, the electrical system within the lift truck must be really durable and reliable for the most demanding cold/hot 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 utilizes digital technology and reduces wiring and lessens electrical connections as well. This results in improved reliability and remarkable serviceability.

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

Yale's diesel forklifts provide extreme dependability and are known for withstanding harsh working conditions and coming out on top. These machinery have been constructed in such a precise way that attention to detail has been considered to be able to keep the operator as comfortable as they can be.
