Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of uses. The ability to design and manufacture units for enhanced safety comes from the new technology which is available in the material handling business and the company's experience.
Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their latest designs. Some of the new technologies which are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through durability testing and functionality. The company performs many reliability development and controlled field tests in order 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 so as to improve overall safety comprise the following:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The ergonomics within the operator compartment along with the controls are made with state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to guarantee that the operator avoids fatigue and heavy repetitive motions. These added comforts help to increase overall efficiency.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a huge range of operators. This helps make the machine user friendly, regardless of who is operating 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 IC engine truck units.
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 natural handling position of the operator which makes it way easier to change.
