Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to design and make units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make certain that their products are very safe.
In order to enhance overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, which have been incorporated on many models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, using state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as exhaustion. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
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 wide array of operators. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to beginning 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 operated if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on internal combustion engine truck models.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design that brings it out from the vehicle's center to the operator's natural handling position that makes it way easier to change.
