Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for many different applications and tasks. The ability to design and produce units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs many controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed many new features, which have been integrated on a lot of models such as:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain 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 also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
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 operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
