Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to manufacture and engineer models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are very safe.
In order to enhance overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed many new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models including:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as she or he could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally 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.
