Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to make and design units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business 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 on the market 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 so as to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety consist of the following:
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 guarantee that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Before beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as he or she could be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on IC engine truck models.
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 way easier to change.
