Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to produce and engineer models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their latest designs. Several of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make sure that their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on a lot of models including:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
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 heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide range of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before starting their shift, the operator could make sure she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being utilized if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the center of the vehicle to the operator's natural handling position which makes it way easier to change.
