Designed 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 produce units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts many reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are really safe.
So as to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed lots of new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models including:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks which have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position that makes it way easier to change.
