Yale is renowned for providing safe lift trucks which are adaptable and flexible for various applications and tasks. The ability to design and manufacture units for improved safety comes from the new technology which is available in the company's experience and the material handling industry.
In their latest designs, Yale has started incorporating newly available technologies. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are initially applied to forklift trucks and then later proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs various reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are really safe.
In order to improve overall safety, Yale has designed and developed lots of new features, which have been integrated on lots of models including:
Operator Compartment Ergonomics and Controls
The operator compartment has been engineered with ergonomics in mind, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. These designs help to ensure that the operator avoids fatigue as well as heavy repetitive motions. These extra comforts help to increase overall productivity.
Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Having adjustable operator's compartment and controls allows the necessary controls to be able to be positioned near a wide array of operators. This helps make the machinery user friendly, regardless of who is utilizing it. Before beginning their shift, the operator can make certain she or he is as comfortable as he or she can be.
Operator Presence System
The Operator Presence System prevents the hydraulic system operation from being used 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 drop-down design brings the LPG 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.
