Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to make and design models for better 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 that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
In order to enhance overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed lots of new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models like:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and fatigue. These extra 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 equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator could make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it way easier to change.
