Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to produce and engineer units for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs many controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety include the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it way easier to change.
