Engineered for Safety
Yale is famous for providing safe lift trucks that are adaptable and flexible for various applications and tasks. The ability to design and manufacture units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various 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 incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a huge array of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
