GDP 40VX5 Value Yale diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2014 - 2019)

LPG Engines

Yale Veracitor VX GM V-6 engines feature a rigid cast iron block and main bearing caps. Nodular iron crankshaft is supported on four main bearings. Camshaft is cast iron. Hydraulic valve lifters are utilised to eliminate the need for manual adjustment. All GM engines include hardened intake and exhaust valve seats with stellite coated valves for superior durability. The GM engine also features an electronic throttle for precise performance and control.

Fuel System

The GM LP engine uses sequential port fuel injection and a vaporizer/regulator to convert the fuel from a liquid to a gas for vapour injection. The Engine Control Unit electronically regulates the fuel, air, and spark advance to provide the necessary torque. The engine control unit’s inputs include manifold air pressure, manifold air temperature, engine coolant temperature, accelerator pedal position, throttle position, engine speed, cam signal, and oxygen sensor signal. The new Kubota V3800 engine is equipped with a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system which reduces the NOx emissions by re-circulating a part of the exhaust gases back into the engine to directly reduce NOx inside the engine. The EGR is self-contained and avoids the need for any fuel additive. It requires the use of Low (<500ppm) or Ultra-Low (<15ppm) sulphur fuel - Diesel fuel with a higher sulphur content will compromise emissions performance and result in damage to EGR system components. The engine also features a high pressure common rail fuel system, which dramatically reduces engine noise while providing more responsive power and better fuel efficiency at every rpm.

Diesel Engines

Base models feature the new Kubota V3600 4-cylinder IDI-T mechanically controlled turbocharged diesel engine with 57kW, for use in those markets where EU diesel exhaust standards are not currently applied. The engine will only operate with category 1 diesel fuel which contains sulphur levels of over 500ppm. It is not compatible with low or Ultra-low sulphur diesel. This mechanically controlled engine is combined with a new electronic powershift transmission, available with one or two speeds and Cowl Mounted Mechanical Levers. Engine rpm, coolant temperature and oil pressure are monitored by the VSM. Value and Productivity models feature the new Kubota V3800 E3 turbocharged diesel engine, delivering power of 55 kW at 2200 rpm.

Yale Veracitor VX Series

This series of trucks is available in three configurations. The Veracitor Base truck offers first-rate performance across a wide range of applications, geared to minimise cost of acquisition without compromising performance. The Veracitor Value truck provides excellent performance for standard and medium-duty applications, optimised for lowest hourly operation cost. The Veracitor Productivity truck delivers maximum performance for medium to heavy-duty applications with state-of-the art features and industry leading power.

Load Sensing Hydraulics

Load Sensing Hydraulics (LSH), where available, 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 rate 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 driving. 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 under application conditions. 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.

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 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.
