Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and produce units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics within the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with 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
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right 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 operator's natural handling position which makes it way easier to change.
