Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to make and design models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
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 durability testing and functionality. The company conducts various reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety comprise 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 exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls allow 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 beginning their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
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 far easier to change.
