Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to make and engineer units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs many reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are very safe.
In order to enhance overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on many models such as:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments 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 operating it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
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 additionally disables directional travel on IC 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 which makes it far easier to change.
