Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks that are flexible and adaptable for many different tasks and applications. The ability to manufacture and engineer models for improved 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 integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts many reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure 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 include the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics within 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 as well as exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables 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. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the use 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 units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
