Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for providing safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to make and engineer units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts many controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure 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 improve overall safety include the following:
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 exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machine if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it far easier to change.
