Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for many different applications and tasks. The ability to make and engineer models for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
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 exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
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 machinery user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct 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 that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it way easier to change.
