Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for various tasks and applications. The ability to engineer and make units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs many reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which 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 ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with 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 production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as she or he could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to 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 that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it way easier to change.
