Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to engineer and make models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Some of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts many controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make certain that their products are very safe.
So as to improve overall safety, Yale has engineered and developed a lot of new features, that have been integrated on a lot of models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics in the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions and exhaustion. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. 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 called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machine if the operator is not in the right operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks which have internal combustion 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 natural handling position of the operator making the tank easier to change.
