Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to make and engineer models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make sure that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics within the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
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 starting their shift, the operator could make sure he or she is as comfortable as possible.
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 LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position which makes it way easier to change.
