Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for various tasks and applications. The ability to produce and design models for better 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 that is available into their newest designs. Some 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 various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety include 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 heavy repetitive motions and fatigue. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as she or he could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator that makes it way easier to change.
