Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to engineer and produce models for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are really 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 consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
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 fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge array of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
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 also disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
