GC070VX Yale LPG Forklift Specs & Dimensions (2019 - 2026)

Yale Veracitor VX Industrial Engines

Yale Veracitor VX Industrial Engines feature a rigid cast iron block and main bearing caps. The nodular iron crankshaft is supported with five main bearings. The coil over plug ignition design eliminates spark plug wires. The Kubota LPG engine features a cast iron cylinder head and deep skirt engine block for strength and resistance to shock. The Kubota also features a long cylinder stroke for improved torque. The PSI engine features hydraulic adjusters that eliminate the need for manual valve clearance adjustments. The PSI also features twin engine balance shafts to reduce engine vibration, resulting in smoother and quieter performance. All engines feature hardened exhaust valve seats with stellite coated valves for superior durability.

Fuel System

All engines feature systems that continually monitor exhaust and adjust fuel/air mix as needed. Yale Veracitor VX engines use a vaporizer/regulator to convert the fuel from a liquid to a gas, and a mixer carburetor. The engines feature three individual performance modes to optimize fuel economy in applications with different productivity levels.

Drive Axle

The drive axles are designed to withstand heavy duty loads and absorb shock loads. The wheel hubs rotate on large tapered roller bearings. The drive shaft transmits torsion to the drive axle from the engine and transmission. Transmission torque occurs through an industrial hypoid ring gear and pinion differential assembly. The drive axle is a self contained assembly that is 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 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.

Cooling System

Cooling System employs a 17” blade pusher-type fan. 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 transmission oil cooler is integrated into the radiator and is located in the side tank. The optional combi-cooler radiator features an externally mounted transmission oil cooler for increased heat transfer capability. All radiators are soft mounted for excellent durability.

Hydraulic System

Hydraulic System incorporates a gear type pump, 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. For Accutouch electro-hydraulic controls, 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.

Brakes

Brakes are duo-servo hydraulic, self-energizing, and automatic adjusting drum brake assemblies. Asbestos-free brake linings are bonded to steel shoes and cast against a cast iron drum. The single circuit master cylinder has a sealed fluid reservoir and features a fluid level sensor which activates an indicator light located on the instrument panel. An independent, hand adjustable parking brake with push-button release has an audible alarm.

Steer Axle

The Steer Axle is constructed of cast steel and is rubber shock mounted to the frame for reduced wear and vibration. The Continuous Stability System (CSS) enhances lateral truck stability through reduced steer axle articulation, while simultaneously allowing uncompromised traveling across various surfaces.

Chassis

The Chassis, designed by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods, contains a rugged, unitized frame structure with a low step for simple entrance to the operator’s compartment. An ergonomically designed overhead guard is bar type for excellent visibility and reduced noise.
