Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to produce and design models for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety comprise 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 ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can 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 right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas 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.
