Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks which are adaptable and flexible for many different applications and tasks. The ability to design and manufacture models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that 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 that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety include the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed 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 exhaustion. 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 machine 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 he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machine if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
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 that makes it far easier to change.
