Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for many different applications and tasks. The ability to manufacture and engineer models for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology which is available into their latest 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 performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety consist of 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 heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can 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 equipment 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 LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator that makes it way easier to change.
