Consult customers
We spend countless hours interviewing and observing lift truck operators as part of our blueprinting process. We maintain an ongoing dialogue with our customers to better understand how they work and use their challenges to help drive the design and development of new equipment and features.
Conduct in-dept research
Ergonomic specialists within Yale engineering work with outside experts to account for the specific movements required to carry out lift truck operation, and integrate them into functional product designs. We also conduct customer surveys and research studies to understand the complexities of specific industries and materials handling applications.
Develop concepts
Customer evaluation plays an important role in our process for developing new concepts, helping
ensure lift truck features reflect user-based feedback.
Test pilots
In the early pilot phases, new features and equipment are rigorously tested and refined
based on customer feedback regarding performance and operational characteristics to enable further enhancement prior to full-scale roll-out.
Visibility
Yale designs products to provide optimum front, rear and overhead visibility, helping boost operator awareness and confidence, and enable peak performance at height, in tight environments and elsewhere
Cushioning
Yale stand-up and sit-down models are designed to reduce the amount of shock and vibration transmitted to the operator, helping them fight off fatigue and stay more productive, longer
Smart control layout
To help operators avoid twisting, long reaches and challenging repetitive motion, Yale designs compartments to keep controls close at hand and intuitively positioned
