Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to engineer and make models for better safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed many new features, that have been integrated on a lot of models like:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
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 right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the LPG 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.
