Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to manufacture and design 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 integrate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make certain that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise 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 ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
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 using it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
