Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for offering safe lift trucks that are suitable for a range of uses. The ability to make and design units for better safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
In their latest designs, Yale has started integrating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies that are available are initially applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company conducts numerous controlled field tests and reliability development so as to make sure that their products are really safe.
Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been integrated as standard features for their fleet so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Controls and Ergonomics
The ergonomics within 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 heavy repetitive motions as well as fatigue. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's controls and compartments enables the necessary controls to be able to be positioned in close proximity to a wide 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 he or she is as comfortable as she or he can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used 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 drop-down design brings the liquid propane gas 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.
