Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for many different tasks and applications. The ability to engineer and make units 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 integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a huge range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the LPG tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
