Engineered for Safety
Yale is famous for offering safe lift trucks which are adaptable and flexible for various applications and tasks. The ability to design and produce models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that 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 available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts various reliability development and controlled field tests in order to ensure their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been incorporated as standard features for their fleet so as to enhance overall safety consist of the following:
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 guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge range of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing 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 machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have internal combustion engines.
Swing-Out LPG Tank Bracket
The LPG tank has a drop down design which brings it out from the vehicle's center to the natural handling position of the operator which makes it far easier to change.
