Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to manufacture and design models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their latest 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 controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are very safe.
In order to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed a lot of new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models like:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment as well as 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 added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
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 also disables directional travel on trucks which have internal combustion engines.
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.
