Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and manufacture units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs various reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are very 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 consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have IC engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it way easier to change.
