Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for many different tasks and applications. The ability to make and design units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts many controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are really safe.
To be able to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on many models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added 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 wide array of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he 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 correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas 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 far easier to change.
