Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to design and produce units 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 integrating newly available technologies. Some 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 numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
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 and fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machine 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 could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used 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.
