Engineered for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for many different tasks and applications. The ability to engineer and make models for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are really safe.
To be able to enhance overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed many new features, that have been incorporated on many models such as:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using 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 productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machine if the operator is not in the right 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.
