Designed for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to manufacture and engineer units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Several of the new technologies which are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts numerous reliability development and controlled field tests so as to make certain that their products are really safe.
To be able to enhance overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, that have been incorporated on many models like:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
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 fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls enable the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the equipment user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation known as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the equipment if the operator is not in the correct 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.
