Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and manufacture models for better 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 that is available into their latest 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 really safe.
To be able to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on lots of models including:
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 ensure that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized 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 drop-down design brings the LPG 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.
