Safety is freedom from unacceptable risk of physical injury or damage to
the health of people due to damage of property or the
environment. Safety is lived out through a combination
of functional safety, operator training, and proper
equipment maintenance.
Every Yale forklift truck is designed and built for
optimal operator and pedestrian safety. We have a long
history of providing lift trucks designed to work safely
in many applications. Special options such as the paper
application kits; UL types GS, LPS, and EE;
environmental packages, and many others enable the
forklift to match the application needs.
There are many aspects that affect lift truck safety including:
- Operator Training
