Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for various tasks and applications. The ability to produce and design models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies which are available 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 really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety consist of 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 guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
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 utilizing it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also 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 which makes it far easier to change.
