Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to manufacture and engineer units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts many controlled field tests and reliability development 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 enhance overall safety consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as she or he can be.
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 also disables directional travel on trucks which have internal combustion engines.
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 which makes it far easier to change.
