Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to design and produce models for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. 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 conducts numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
So as to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed many new features, which have been integrated on a lot of models including:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, using 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 productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a huge range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make sure she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position that makes it far easier to change.
