Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to engineer and produce units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. 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 many reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are very 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 Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing 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 productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks which have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
