GDP 18VX Yale diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2005 - 2019)

Fuel System

The Mazda LPG engine uses a single barrel non adjustable carburetor with an LPG injector and a regulator/vaporizer. The Engine Control Unit controls the LPG injector fueling. The Yanmar fuel system has an Electro-mechanical controlled throttle providing excellent response time. Super quick glow plugs allow the engine to start quickly and reliably under cold conditions. Additionally, the cold start device delivers a cleaner exhaust under cold conditions by advancing the fuel injection timing based on water temperature. Emissions have been reduced by controlling fuel injection timing according to engine load.

Transmission

Two transmission selections are available with engine configurations that will fulfill a wide variety of material handling applications. 1) Standard Electronic features electronic inching, electric shift control, neutral start switch, and anti-restart protection and heavy duty clutch packs. A single pedal controls both inching and braking. Optional dual inch/brake pedals are available for operators who prefer this design. A 100 micron return line filtration protects the transmission from abrasive contaminants. 2) The Techntronix 100 has all the Standard Electronic features plus Auto Deceleration System through the controlled application of clutch packs, which reduces tyre spin by precisely regulating engine speed during controlled power reversals.

Operator’s Compartment

Base truck features cowl mounted hydraulic control levers positioned on the right side of the steering column. Value trucks feature Accutouch or PalmTech electrohydraulic controls integrated into the operator’s right-side armrest for superior ergonomic action. An automotive-style pedal arrangement with a large, single inch/brake pedal is standard.

Yale Hi-Vis Masts

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

Yale Veracitor VX Series

This series of trucks is available in two configurations. The Veracitor Base truck offers first-rate performance for standard-duty applications and is geared to minimise cost of acquisition without compromising performance. The Veracitor Value truck provides excellent performance for standard and medium-duty applications and is optimised for lowest hourly cost of operation.

Drive Axle

The drive axle is designed to withstand heavy-duty applications and absorb shock loads. It is a self-contained assembly isolated from the transmission by a heavy-duty rubber isolator. The axle shafts utilize a rolled fillet root spline design for increased resistance to torsion stress. A magnetic sump plug collects any metal particles circulating in the axle oil to prevent 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 300mm in diameter with a textured surface grip and spinner knob, and requires only four turns lock-to-lock. The centre mounted steer cylinder is located within the confines of the steer axle for protection.

Steer Axle

Constructed from cast steel, the steer axle 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.

Engines

Engines feature a rigid cast iron block and main bearing caps. Hydraulic valve lifters eliminate the need for manual adjustment. All engines include hardened exhaust valve seats. All engines are Tier 2 emissions compliant and feature closed loop emissions regulation systems that continually monitor exhaust and adjust fuel/air mix.

Brakes

Brakes are duo-servo hydraulic, self-energizing, and automatic adjusting drum brake assemblies. Asbestos-free brake linings are bonded to steel shoes and act against a cast iron drum. Single circuit master cylinder has sealed fluid reservoir and features a fluid level sensor which activates an indicator light located on the instrument panel.
