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 design models for better safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make sure that their products are very safe.
To be able to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed many new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee 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 operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator could make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
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 operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
