Yale Pneumatic IC Engine Lift Trucks are made and designed for some of the harshest environments, applications and businesses. The Yale GP-VX Series utilizes rugged four and six cylinder Yanmar, Mazda, Cummins and GM engines in LPG, diesel and gasoline. These engines are proven for reliability and performance as far as their application goes. In the industry, Yale has proved to be among the major players, leading the way with excellent design and innovative technology. In addition, these machinery have proven to be reliable and safe over the years.
Yale Techtronix electrically controlled transmissions provide amazing performance and durability. Yale Hi-Vis masts incorporate superior visibility, solid construction and innovative engineering. These components are all engineered for low-maintenance, extended life and amazing performance.
Work and Head Lamps
There are specific standards in place by OSHA which need directional lighting on the truck if general lighting is less than 2 lumens per square foot. This makes adequate lighting a safety requirement inside of darkened buildings or at night time.
Yale offers optional lights to meet the variety of client application needs. These options include halogen lighting options and LED options which are both designed in order to resist damaging effects of shock, vibration and weather conditions, while increasing visibility in low ambient light environments.
Operator Restraint Systems
The operator restraint system is designed for a tip over event. This system helps keep the operators head and torso inside the confines of the overhead guard and lift truck frame. Utilizing an operator restraint system properly could really lessen the likelihood of serious injury from happening. Every one of the newer Yale lift trucks consists of an Anti-Cinch Seat Belt as well as Hip Restraints as part of their standard equipment. Yale is really proud to provide operator restraint systems that can be retrofitted into numerous older Yale lift trucks.
In order to lessen forklift maintenance, regular inspections can help you save greatly over the long haul use of your machine. The standing joke within the industry is a forklift technician coining the saying "Pay me now, or pay me later," because it usually costs more to procrastinate when it comes to forklifts. For example, the minor fixes which are not repaired could eventually turn into expensive repairs.
Tilt Cylinders
Oil leaks are a really serious problem if they are not checked. Inspect for damage or oil leaks regularly. Oil leakage could result in uncontrolled mast movement and this can be extremely unsafe. Whether the leaks are external or inside the cylinder, the outcome can lead to cylinder drift and loss of vital fluid. When leaks or damage are detected, you typically would need to replace the seals or the complete cylinder assembly.
Chains
Be sure to pay attention since you don't want mast lift chains to stretch beyond acceptable limits. Look carefully for any signs of damage or wear and tear. Check regularly with a chain wear gauge in order to monitor the wear. If the chain is worn beyond 2% or rusted, you should replace the chain. Following these guidelines will help keep your machinery functioning optimally.
Mast
The mast has to be smoothly moving down and up when using the lift control lever. Be sure to check to see if the mast is tilting backwards and forwards in a smooth manner. You might have to lubricate the mast strip sliding surfaces if the sliding surfaces are binding. Lubricate their fittings also, because there is a fitting located on either side of the inner mast. The lift bracket side rollers are another lubrication spot.
Forks
Check the forks and look for wear, cracks and damage. It is important to remember that worn or cracked forks could possibly fail without any warning. Of course, any fork damage means immediately taking the truck out of service. If the cracks are deeper than just on the surface, they should be replaced since they truly can't be safely repaired.
