Powertrain
A forklift has to be tough enough to last for numerous hours of heavy use in extreme environments. These machines need to be able to move loads fast and efficiently while still being ergonomic to the operator. The reliable, rugged Yale powertrain provides superior durability through its state of the art clutch packs, computer controlled engine and transmission and extremely robust shafts and gears. The transmission, engine, drive axle and steer axle are all isolated in order to lessen vibration and noise inside the operator's compartment.

Electrical
The electrical system of a lift truck is responsible for linking the major nerve centers of the truck together. Therefore, the electrical system within the lift truck should be reliable and durable for the most demanding cold/hot and dry/wet operations. There is much sophistication required to be able to control truck functionality.

Yale trucks are recognized for delivering reliable electronics. The Yale CANbus electrical system uses digital technology and lessens wiring and lessens electrical connections as well. This results in awesome serviceability and improved dependability.

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

Yale's diesel forklifts offer extreme reliability and are recognized 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 taken into account to be able to keep the operator as comfortable as possible.
