Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to make and engineer units for better safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their newest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. 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 many reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These added comforts help to increase overall production.
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 operating it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make sure she or he is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being operated 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.
