GP175VX Yale diesel forklift specs & dimensions (2019 - 2026)

Engines

The Kubota 3.8L High Output Tier 4 Final turbo diesel engine and the standard Kubota 3.8L DOC Tier 4 Final turbo diesel engine both utilize a two piece cylinder block for outstanding durability while reducing engine noise. Cylinders are cast into the block for optimum durability and cooling efficiency. Cylinder heads feature a helical, 4-valve “Crossflow” design within each cylinder to create additional airflow into the cylinder for added power. The turbocharger is of a simple design, but uses a variable waste-gate to ensure the proper amount of boost at all engine speeds. Both engines are certified to EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards.

Cooling System

The cooling system employs a modular radiator system, with sections for engine coolant, transmission oil, and engine intake (charge) air. An 18” diameter blade pusher-type fan provides cooling air flow. 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 15 psi and includes a coolant recovery tank for visual inspection of coolant level. The radiator is soft-mounted for excellent 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 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 utilize 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

Hydraulic Power Steering (hydrostatic steering) provides responsive control and eliminates mechanical linkages for reduced surface shock and simplified maintenance. The steering wheel is 12 inches 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

Constructed of cast ductile iron and mounted on phenolic bushings, allows the steer axle excellent stability and axle articulation. The steer axle system features tapered spindle bearings and non-adjustable tie rod ends for durability.

Hydraulic System

Incorporating a gear type pump with a cast iron body for quiet operation, the hydraulic system is protected from overfilling by a main relief valve for the lift circuit and a secondary relief valve for all other auxiliary functions. Oil is double filtered through a 10 micron 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.

Yale Masts

Yale masts are available in Simplex LFL (Limited Free Lift) and Triplex FFL (Full Free Lift) models. The mast features pre-lubed and sealed full-radius load rollers that resist the forward, rearward and lateral forces. Side-thrust wear pads allow for periodic adjustments for lateral clearances. The rolled mast channels are made of high-strength steel to provide resistance to flaring of the channel flanges. 80” wide hook-type carriages are standard equipment, providing great visibility and handling a wide variety of forks and attachments. The optional heavy duty mast provides a solution for users in extreme applications that require heavy attachment use or frequently moved maximum rated loads.

Transmissions

The standard Techtronix 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. The Auto Deceleration feature is accomplished through the controlled application of the clutch packs. Controlled power reversals are managed by precisely regulating engine speed to reduce driveline stress during directional changes. Hitching is controlled electronically. This transmission also features electronic shift control, smooth electronic inching, a neutral start switch, and anti-restart protection. A single pedal controls both inching and braking, while optional dual inch/brake pedals are available for operators who prefer this design. Additionally, a 100 mesh suction and 10 micron return line filtration protect the transmission from abrasive contaminants.
