Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to design and manufacture units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which 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 durability testing and functionality. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
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 guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge range of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machine if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also 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 natural handling position of the operator which makes it far easier to change.
