Yale GDP 30VX overview

Drive

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 GM LPG uses sequential port fuel injection, ‘vaporiser’ regulator to convert fuel from a liquid to a gas for vapor injection. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) electronically controls the fuel/air mix, and spark advance to provide the necessary torque. The ECU inputs include manifold air pressure temperature, engine coolant temperature, accelerator pedal position, throttle position, engine speed, cam signal, and oxygen sensor signal. 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, while the cold start device delivers a cleaner exhaust by advancing the fuel injection timing based on water temperature. Emissions have been reduced by controlling fuel injection timing according to engine load.


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 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.


Performance

Load Sensing Hydraulics

Load Sensing Hydraulics (LSH) deliver increased operational efficiency, offering a 15% reduction in fuel consumption on the VDI cycle, with no loss in productivity. Variable displacement piston pumps match the flow and lifting speed continuously to the demands of the duty cycle. The engine therefore supplies only power to the hydraulic pumps when required, so more power is available for the drive. This provides increased responsiveness and acceleration, which increases productivity and lowers fuel consumption, reducing overall operating costs. LSH also offers an ECO-eLo Fuel Efficiency mode, reducing engine speed by 20% and optimising throttle response, so that the truck operates in the most economical power range. This results in a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 20% but has a limited effect on overall truck productivity and noise application levels. The ECO-eLo mode also delivers lower noise levels by up to 3dB(A). If a faster work rate, or higher productivity is required, the truck can easily be reprogrammed to HiP (High Performance) mode of operation through the dash display, with access secured by a unique customer password.


Cabin & Equipment

Brakes

Brakes are duo-servo hydraulic, self-energizing, and automatic adjusting drum brake assemblies. Asbestos-free brake linings are bonded to steel shoes operating in cast iron drums on the Base and Value models. The Productivity models have oil immersed brakes as standard. The single circuit master cylinder has a fluid reservoir and features a fluid level sensor which activates an indicator light on the instrument panel.
