Designed for Safety
Yale is famous for providing safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for various applications and tasks. The ability to make and design models for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make sure that their products are really safe.
So as to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed lots of new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models such as:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
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 using it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on IC 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.
