Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for providing safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to make and design units for better safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed many new features, which have been integrated on a lot of models including:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure 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 compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks which 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 way easier to change.
