Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to make and engineer models for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are on the market 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 in order to make sure that their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on a lot of models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
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. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as he or she could be.
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 also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position which makes it far easier to change.
