Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to design and make units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts many 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 in order to improve overall safety include the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
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 exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain he or she 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 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 that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
