Designed for Safety
Yale is renowned for offering safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for many different tasks and applications. The ability to design and make models for better safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that 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 so as to ensure their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new 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 ergonomics within 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 fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks which have IC engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the natural handling position of the operator that makes it way easier to change.
