Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to manufacture and design units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make sure that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety consist of the following:
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 production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used 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 LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator that makes it way easier to change.
