Engineered for Safety
Yale has a great history for providing safe lift trucks which are suitable for a variety of applications. The ability to engineer and manufacture models for enhanced safety comes from the new technology that is available in the material handling industry and the company's experience.

Yale likes to integrate new technology which is available into their newest designs. Several of the new technologies that are on the market are first applied to forklift trucks and after that proven further through functionality and durability testing. The company performs various reliability development and controlled field tests so as to ensure their products are very safe.

Some of Yale's new designs and technology which has been incorporated 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 added comforts help to increase overall production.

Adjustable Operators Compartment and Controls
Adjustable operator controls allow 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 certain she or he is as comfortable as possible.

Operator Presence System
Yale's hydraulic system operation referred to as the Operator Presence System prevents the operation of the machinery if the operator is not in the correct operating position. This presence system additionally disables directional travel on trucks that have IC engines.

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 far easier to change.
