Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to produce and engineer models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety include the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics within the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
