Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to engineer and produce units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies which are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs numerous reliability development and controlled field tests in order to make sure that their products are very safe.
So as to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, that have been incorporated on lots of models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics within the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids exhaustion and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
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 machine user friendly, regardless of who is using it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator could make certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machine if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system also disables directional travel on trucks which have IC engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The drop-down design brings the LPG tank out from the protected center of the truck and down to the operator's natural handling position making the tank easier to change.
