Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to engineer and make models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the company's experience and the material handling business.
Yale likes to incorporate new technology that is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies that are available are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs many controlled field tests and reliability development in order to make sure that their products are very safe.
Some of Yale's innovative designs and technology that has been integrated as standard features for their fleet in order to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The operator compartment has been designed with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids exhaustion and heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
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 using it. Prior to beginning their shift, the operator could make certain he or she is as comfortable as possible.
Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation called the Operator Presence System prevents the use of the machinery if the operator is not in the right 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.
