Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a range of applications. The ability to produce and design units for improved safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Some of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company conducts various controlled field tests and reliability development so as 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 Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics in the operator compartment as well as the controls are made with 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 efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Controls and Compartment
Adjustable operator controls allow the operators to choose the positioning of their necessary controls. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is operating it. Prior to starting their shift, the operator can make sure 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 equipment 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 liquid propane gas 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 far easier to change.
