Yale improves Veracitor VX lift trucks

Yale Materials Handling Corp. has improved its Veracitor VX truck series with a choice of engine options designed to deliver maximum performance with low fuel consumption, minimal noise, and reduced maintenance and operating costs. The lift trucks, which also offer a maintenance-free stability system, have lifting capacities ranging from 3,000 to 19,000 pounds. The vehicles come in both cushion and pneumatic tire classes.

The rugged powertrain offers durability with computer-controlled engine and transmission, robust clutch packs, and stronger gears and shafts. Multiple powertrain configuration options provide improved efficiency while enhancing reliability and serviceability. All transmissions feature smooth electronic inching that saves money in maintenance costs by eliminating periodic adjustments.

Techtronix transmissions reduce tire costs through the Controlled Power reversal feature, which minimizes tire spin during directional changes. The Auto Deceleration System, which comes standard with Techtronix transmissions, extends brake life by automatically slowing the truck when the accelerator pedal is released. This helps to minimize brake usage requirements and reduce overall brake maintenance costs.

The Yale Continuous Stability Enhancement reduces truck lean in turns and improves lateral stability. Even with a reduced lean, the innovative steer axle mounting design allows for superior travel over uneven surfaces.
