Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and make units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion 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 operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as he or she 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 additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
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 that makes it way easier to change.
