Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and produce units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Several of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain he or she is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it far easier to change.
