Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to engineer and make units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make sure that their products are very safe.
In order to improve 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 operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide range of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use 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 units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the LPG tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
