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 engineer models for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business 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 first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make certain that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety include 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 heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machine 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 liquid propane gas tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
