Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to engineer and make models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids exhaustion and heavy repetitive motions. These added 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 machinery user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have IC engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position which makes it way easier to change.
