Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to produce and design units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
To be able to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, which have been incorporated on a lot of models including:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
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 heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
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.
