Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for many different tasks and applications. The ability to make and engineer units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he 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 correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas 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.
