Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to design and produce models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
