GDP 130 EC Yale diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2012 - 2013)

Diesel Engines

The Yale Veracitor Cummins QSB3.3L diesel turbo charged engine features legendary Cummins reliability and Tier III emission compliance. The turbocharger uses the energy of the exhaust system to compress the intake air. This increases air density, allowing a more complete combustion of the fuel, which provides higher power. The engine also features exceptionally low noise levels, forged steel crankshaft, camshaft and con rods and oil-cooled forged aluminium pistons. The cast iron block is designed to increase rigidity and resist torsional stresses.

Fuel System

The Cummins QSB3.3L turbocharged diesel engine incorporates a “High Pressure Common Rail” (HPCR) fuel system with full electronic control. The engine control module monitors critical engine operating parameters, accelerator throttle position and Vehicle System Manager messages, whilst adjusting engine fuel as necessary to achieve the required engine speed and torque output. Solenoid actuated injection nozzles, a full suite of sensors and full electronic engine control maximises engine performance while reducing engine noise and emissions. The GM LPG engine uses a mixer system. The system uses a vaporizer built into the electronic pressure regulator to convert the fuel from a liquid to a gas and then precisely deliver the proper amount to the mixer via the electronic pressure regulator. An electronic throttle body regulates the fuel/air mixture to the intake manifold. The Engine Control Unit controls the electronic throttle body, electronic pressure regulator and spark advance to provide the necessary torque. The Engine Control Unit’s inputs include manifold absolute pressure, intake air temperature, engine coolant temperature, engine oil pressure, accelerator pedal position, throttle position, engine speed, camshaft position, plus pre and post catalyst oxygen sensor signals.

LPG Engines

The Yale Veracitor VX GM Vortec™ V8 engine features a rigid cast iron block and main bearing caps. The Nodular iron crankshaft is supported on four main bearings with a cast iron camshaft. Hydraulic valve lifters are utilized to eliminate the need for manual adjustment. The GM engines also feature an electronic throttle for precise performance and control.

Controlled Power Reversal (CPR)

Tyre spin is significantly reduced by precisely regulating engine speed during full power reversal situations. Tyre wear is proportionally decreased, reducing the number of replacement tyres required.

Cooling System

The modular radiator system incorporates sections for engine coolant, transmission oil and engine intake air. A 500mm diameter blade pusher-type fan provides cooling airflow. A permanently lubricated water pump and a high capacity, cross-flow radiator ensure rapid heat dissipation. The sealed cooling system operates at a pressure of 1.0 bar and includes a coolant recovery tank for visual inspection of coolant level. The radiator is soft-mounted for durability.

Drive Axle

The drive axles are designed to withstand heavy loads and absorb shocks. The wheel hubs rotate on large tapered roller bearings. The drive shaft transmits rotational torque to the drive axle from the engine and transmission. Transmission torque is distributed through planetary gear reduction and an industrial hypoid ring gear and pinion differential assembly. The drive axle is a “self contained” assembly that is isolated from the transmission by the drive shaft and heavy-duty rubber isolators. The axle shafts utilise 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 System

The hydraulic system incorporates a gear type pump with a 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. 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.

Masts

Yale Simplex LFL (Limited Free Lift) and Triplex FFL (Full Free Lift) masts are available. The mast features pre-lubed and sealed full radius load rollers that resist forward, rearward and lateral forces. Side-thrust wear pads allow for periodic adjustment for lateral clearances. The rolled mast channels are made of high strength steel to provide resistance to flaring of the mast channel. Wide (2.03m) hook-type carriages are standard equipment, providing great visibility and the fitting of a wide variety of forks and attachments. Pin-type carriages are also available.

Yale Veracitor VX Series

This series of trucks is designed to provide excellent performance and is optimized for lowest hourly cost of operation.

Transmissions

Techntronix 332 transmission The standard Techntronix 332 transmission features three speeds forward and two speeds in reverse for excellent gradeability and drawbar pull while allowing top travel speeds for maximum productivity. First gear also offers increased drawbar pull for use on gradients. Whilst second and third gears provide maximum engine efficiency in applications where longer travel distances are common.

Auto Deceleration (ADS)

This is achieved through the controlled application of the clutch packs to slow the truck down without the need to apply the foot brake.

Controlled Roll Back (CRB)

Roll back on gradients is limited to 75mm per second making load spotting and discharging of loads on ramps and gradients easier and more efficient.

Techntronix 332+ Transmission

The Techntronix 332+ has all the standard Techntronix 332 transmission features plus Dynamic Auto Deceleration System (DADS) and Auto Speed Hydraulics (ASH) with Automatic Inching Control which automatically increases engine RPM as hydraulic functions are actuated, while maintaining control over vehicle speed. The Throttle Response Management feature (TRM) provides travel speed as a direct result of pedal position, improving truck control. A 100 mesh suction and 10 micron return line filtration system protect the transmission from abrasive contaminants.

Auto-Speed Hydraulics (ASH) with Automatic Inching Control

When lifting a load, the engine speed is automatically increased to provide full hydraulic power. The Intellix VSM™ maintains the travel speed (or prevents travel) until the operator activates the accelerator. No operator inching is required and productivity is increased by simplifying operator actions.

Throttle Response Management (TRM)

This feature allows the operator to manage his travel speed, according to the position of his foot on the accelerator pedal. For example, travel speed can be maintained both on the level and on a gradient, without the need to depress the pedal further. The system also compensates for hydraulic operation and drawbar pull.

Dynamic Auto Deceleration System (DADS)

This allows the operator to reduce the speed of the truck without using the brake. The rate of braking is determined by the programmable dashboard settings 1-10. The rate of deceleration can be controlled further by the rate at which the operator releases his foot from the accelerator pedal. The transmission also features electronic shift control, smooth electronic inching, neutral start switch, and anti-restart protection.

Steering

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 center mounted steer cylinder is located within the confines of the steer axle for protection.

Steer Axle

The steer axle is constructed of cast ductile steel and is mounted on phenolic bushings, allowing excellent stability and axle articulation. The steer axle system features tapered spindle bearings and non-adjustable tie rod end for durability.
