Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to design and make models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, that have been integrated on many models including:
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 ensure that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machine 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 drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
