Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to manufacture and design units for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very 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 comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, using 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 production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks which have IC engines.
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.
