Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to engineer and manufacture models for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs many controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
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 productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have IC engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
