Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to produce and engineer models for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. 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 so as to make sure that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to enhance overall safety include the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
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 range of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
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.
