Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to design and produce units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make sure that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
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.
