GDC70VX Base Yale diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2022 - 2026)

Drive Axle

The drive axle is designed to withstand heavy-duty loads and absorb shock loads. The wheel hubs rotate on large tapered roller bearings, and the drive shaft transmits torsion to the drive axle from the engine and transmission. Transmission torque occurs through an industrial hypoid ring gear and pinion differential assembly. The drive axle is a self-contained assembly that is isolated from the transmission by a heavy-duty rubber isolator. The axle shafts feature a “rolled fillet” root spline design for increased resistance to torsion stress. A magnetic sump plug is used to collect any metal particles that are circulating in the axle oil, preventing component wear.

Hydraulic Power Steering

Hydrostatic steering provides responsive control and eliminates mechanical linkages for reduced surface shock and simplified maintenance. The steering wheel is 30cm in diameter with a textured surface grip and spinner knob, and requires only four turns lock-to-lock. The centre

Yale Hi-Vis Masts

A full range of Yale Hi-Vis 2 stage LFL and 2 and 3 stage FFL masts are available. Yale Hi-Vis masts are designed for maximum visibility, with widely spaced channels, lift chains and main lift cylinders.

Masts

Yale Hi-Vis Masts are available in 2 Stage LFL and 3 Stage FFL configurations. Masts features flush-faced design with geometrically matched load roller bearings which are canted to support front and side thrust. The mast front rail flange angle coupled with three degree mast rollers significantly reduce channel and roller wear. A non-metallic phenolic mast trunnion bushing with woven reinforcement offers high load carrying capability with outstanding durability.

Yale Veracitor GC-VX Series

This series of trucks is available in two configurations to match your material handling application requirements. The Base model offers first-rate performance and is geared to minimize your cost of acquisition without compromising performance. The Value model provides excellent performance and is optimized for lowest hourly cost of operation.

Transmissions

There are two transmissions available that will handle a wide variety of material handling applications. The Powershift Electronic powershift transmission features two forward and two reverse speeds with electronic shift control, smooth hydraulic inching, neutral start switch, and anti-restart protection. A single pedal controls both inching and braking. A 100 mesh suction and a 10 micron return line filtration protect the transmission from abrasive contaminants. The Techtronix 300 includes all the features of the Powershift Electronic powershift transmission and offers three speeds forward and two speeds in reverse for excellent gradeability and drawbar pull while allowing top travel speeds for maximum productivity. In addition, the Auto Deceleration System (ADS) slows the truck down through the controlled application of clutch packs, without the need to apply the foot brake. Controlled Power Reversal (CPR) reduces tyre spin by precisely regulating engine speed during full power reversal situations and Controlled Roll-Back (CRB) limits roll-back on gradients to 75mm per second.

Brakes

Oil immersed disc brakes are standard and internal to the axle for better protection against the elements, debris, and contamination. These low pedal effort brakes require no adjustments and very little maintenance, yet provide an extremely long service life. The hydraulically boosted single circuit master cylinder has a sealed fluid reservoir and features a fluid level sensor which activates an indicator located on the instrument panel. An independent, hand adjustable parking brake with push-button locking has an audible alarm to indicate when the operator has left the truck without applying the parking brake.

Steer Axle

The steer axle is constructed of cast steel and is rubber shock mounted to the frame for reduced wear and vibration. The CSE (Continuous Stability Enhancement) system enhances lateral truck stability through reduced steer axle articulation, while simultaneously allowing uncompromised uneven surface travel. The steer axle system features tapered spindle bearings and a non-adjustable tie rod end for durability.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system incorporates a gear type pump, cast iron body for quiet efficiency. The system is protected from overloads by a main relief valve for the lift circuit and a secondary relief valve for tilt and auxiliary functions. Oil is double filtered through a 100 mesh suction line strainer and 10 micron return line filter. The hydraulic tank is integrated into the frame. For electro-hydraulic controls, an emergency lowering valve is provided to allow the load to be lowered in the event of power loss. O-ring face seal fittings are used in all high pressure hydraulic connections.
