Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to design and make units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later 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 very safe.
To be able to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed a lot of new features, which have been incorporated on lots of models like:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics within 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 added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine 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 he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
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.
