Engineered for Safety
Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks which are flexible and adaptable for various applications and tasks. The ability to manufacture and engineer units for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts many controlled field tests and reliability development so as to ensure their products are very safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on many 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 guarantee that the operator avoids exhaustion and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the equipment if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck units.
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.
