Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to manufacture and design models for better 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 integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are very safe.
To be able to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed a lot of new features, which have been integrated on a lot of models including:
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 ensure that the operator avoids fatigue and 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 equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as she or he could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position which makes it way easier to change.
