Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and make units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. 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 that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make certain she or he 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 correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks which 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 which makes it way easier to change.
