Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to design and make models for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
To be able to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, which have been integrated on lots of models such as:
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 guarantee that the operator avoids exhaustion and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
