Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to make and design units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machine if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks which have IC 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 natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
