Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to produce and design units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are really safe.
So as to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed a lot of new features, that have been incorporated on a lot of models like:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment along with 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
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a huge array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as possible.
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 internal combustion engine truck units.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The liquid propane gas tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator that makes it far easier to change.
