Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to manufacture and engineer 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 incorporating newly available technologies. Several 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 conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety include the following:
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 guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before starting their shift, the operator can 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 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 LPG tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
