Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to manufacture and engineer units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
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 then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are really 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 comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing 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 production.
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 starting their shift, the operator can make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG 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.
