Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to design and produce models 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 which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs various reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are very safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models such as:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics within the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow 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
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the equipment if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
