Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for many different tasks and applications. The ability to design and make models for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are really safe.
So as to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, which have been integrated on lots of models such as:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing 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 production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the equipment if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally 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 that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position which makes it far easier to change.
