Yale Pneumatic IC Engine Lift Trucks are manufactured and engineered for some of the harshest environments, applications and businesses. The Yale GP-VX Series utilizes rugged four and six cylinder Mazda, Yanmar, Cummins and GM engines in LPG, gasoline, and diesel. These engines are tested for reliability and performance as far as their application goes. Within the business, Yale has proved to be among the major players, leading the way with innovative technology and excellent design. Moreover, these machines have proven to be safe and reliable over the years.
Yale Techtronix electrically controlled transmissions offer remarkable performance and durability. Yale Hi-Vis masts integrate solid construction, innovative engineering and superior visibility. These components are all engineered for extended, low-maintenance life as well as great performance.
Work and Head Lamps
There are specific standards implemented by OSHA that 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 provides optional lights to meet the variety of customer application requirements. These options comprise LED options and halogen lighting options that are both designed in order to resist damaging effects of weather conditions, shock and vibration, while increasing visibility in low ambient light environments.
Operator Restraint Systems
In the event of a lift truck tip over, an operator restraint system can help the operator keep their torso and head inside the confines of the overhead guard and lift truck frame. Utilizing an operator restraint system properly could greatly decrease the chance of serious injury from happening. Each one of the newer Yale lift trucks includes Hip Restraints as well as an Anti-Cinch Seat Belt as part of their standard equipment. Yale is very proud to provide operator restraint systems which can be retrofitted into many older Yale lift trucks.
Frequent inspections could greatly help to lessen forklift repairs and save you copious amounts of money in the long-run. The standing joke in the industry is a forklift technician coining the saying "Pay me now, or pay me later," because it generally costs more to procrastinate when it comes to forklifts. For example, the minor fixes that go unrepaired could eventually turn into costly repairs.
Tilt Cylinders
If they are left unchecked, oil leaks are a very serious concerns. On a regular basis, the machinery must be inspected for oil leaks and/or damage. Oil leaks can lead to really dangerous uncontrolled movement of the mast. Whether the leaks are inside of the cylinder or outside, the outcome can result in loss of vital fluid and cylinder drift. When damage or leaks are detected, you typically would need to replace the whole cylinder assembly or the seals.
Chains
Be sure to pay attention as you don't want mast lift chains to stretch beyond acceptable limits. Watch carefully for any signs of wear and tear or damage. Check regularly with a chain wear gauge in order to monitor the wear. If the chain is worn beyond 2 percent or rusted, it is time to replace the chain. Following these guidelines will help keep your equipment functioning optimally.
Mast
When using the lift control lever, the mast needs to be moved down and up smoothly, making sure to check if the mast is moving smoothly backwards and forwards. You may need to lubricate the mast strip sliding surfaces if the sliding surfaces are binding. Lubricate their fittings too, since there is a fitting located on either side of the inner mast. The lift bracket side rollers are another lubrication spot.
Forks
Inspect the forks and look for cracks, damage and wear. It is important to remember that worn or cracked forks could possibly fail without any warning. Any fork damage of course means immediately taking the truck out of service. If the cracks are deeper than just on the surface, they must be replaced as they truly can't be safely repaired.
