Abstract

American Fork Lift Trucks Adopt Centralized Lubrication. A number of larger type of fork lift trucks have recently been fitted with centralized lubrication systems. These are trucks manufactured by the Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, Philadelphia, and the centralized systems have been manufactured by the Lincoln Engineering Company, St. Louis, Missouri. This system is designed to deliver, within 45 seconds, a predetermined amount of lubricant to each of 26 points. This system is regarded as a primary maintenance investment by all truck oper­ ators who have had it fitted and it is stated to reduce three troublesome truck operating expenses: labour, out-of-operation and overheads. The system consists of a primary 4-unit injector manifold feeding a series of secondary distribution manifolds mounted close to their respective lubric­ ating points. Lubricant supply is furnished by a manually operated pump at a pressure equal to the highest pressure fitting in the circuit. Each fitting has its own injector valve and these valves are, in turn, individually adjusted for their correct amount of lubricant per cycle. The entire lubricating operation is thus merely a case of raising the system to a pre­ determined pressure sufficient to unload and load each valve. The first 4-point feeder supplies lubricant to RH and LH tilt cylinders and RH and LH parking This lubrication system is not a standard fitment, brakes; an eight point feeder supplies RH and LH but can be supplied at extra cost on most large Yale clutch throw out shaft, RH and LH channel pivots, & Towne trucks to those users who appreciate that clutch pedal, brake pedal, clutch throw out bearing, it will pay them dividends to fit it when the truck is and the front, fore and aft steering rod ; three 4-point new, and save money on maintenance charges at the feeders supply trail axle tie rods, front and rear trail same time as ensuring long and efficient life for the axles, king pins, etc. truck. 3 4 Scientific LUBRICATION July, 1955
