Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to manufacture and design units for enhanced 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 which is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs many reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed lots of new features, that have been integrated on lots 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 as well as fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning 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 operation 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 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 operator's natural handling position which makes it far easier to change.
