Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to manufacture 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 which is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are very safe.
So as to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed many new features, that have been integrated on a lot of models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before starting their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machine if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
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.
