Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to engineer and produce units for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Several 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 conducts many controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make sure that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC 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 natural handling position of the operator that makes it far easier to change.
