Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for many different tasks and applications. The ability to produce and engineer models for better safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make sure that their products are really safe.
To be able to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, which have been incorporated on many models such as:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics within the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee 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 enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make sure he or she is as comfortable as she or he could be.
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 correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas 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.
