Powertrain
A lift truck has to be tough enough to last for numerous hours of heavy use in extreme settings. These equipment have to be able to move loads efficiently and fast while still being ergonomic to the operator. The rugged, reliable Yale powertrain offers superior durability through its extremely strong shafts and gears, state of the art clutch pack and computer managed engine and transmission. The transmission, engine, drive axle and steer axle are all isolated in order to lessen vibration and noise inside the compartment of the operator.

Electrical
The electrical system of the lift truck is responsible for connecting the truck's major nerve centers. Hence, the electrical system in the lift truck needs to be dependable and durable for the most demanding cold/hot and wet/dry operations. There is much sophistication required to be able to control truck functionality.

Yale trucks are known for delivering dependable electronics. The Yale CANbus electrical system employs digital technology and lessens electrical connections and lessens wiring as well. This results in improved reliability and awesome serviceability.

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

Yale's diesel forklifts offer extreme reliability and are known for withstanding harsh working conditions and coming out on top. These machines 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 they can be.
