Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to engineer and make units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety include the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
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 fatigue. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make certain he or she is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machine if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position which makes it far easier to change.
