Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to produce 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 incorporate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make sure 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 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 guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
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 trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas 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 far easier to change.
