Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to design and make models for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest 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 after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. 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 innovative designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety include the following:
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 guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
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. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation 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 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.
