Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for providing safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to design and manufacture 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 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 then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make sure that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance 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 productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a huge array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make sure 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 right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
