Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to make and design units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which 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 so as to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a huge array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he 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 models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position which makes it far easier to change.
