Ergonomics – Operating
Yale-3WS-Ergonomics-660x424.png

The Yale® three-wheel stand truck is designed to help operators work more comfortably and efficiently. An adjustable armrest supports a personalized fit to help reduce fatigue, while the multi-function control handle puts key travel and hydraulic functions within easy reach. The result helps operators achieve greater comfort, more confident control and sustained productivity throughout the shift.

  • Standard fixed armrest is padded and optional highly adjustable armrest allows a broad range of operators to find a comfortable operating position, with 6 inches of vertical adjustability and 3 inches horizontally.
  • Industry-leading multifunction control handle provides simultaneous control of travel and hydraulic functions with a single hand position.
    • Optional heated handle enhances operator comfort for subzero materials handling environments.
  • Highly durable operator padding in key places within the compartment offers additional postural relief.
    • Back and hip pads are included standard.
    • Knee and thigh pads are optional enhancements.
 
Multi-function control handle

Operators have complete control over necessary functions with a single hand position, allowing for a comfortable and productive operating position.

Touchscreen display
Touchscreen display

Choose from a standard 2.8” or optional 7” touchscreen dash for easy access to key information. Operators can program maximum lift height and travel speed using the display, quickly tailoring lift truck performance to the task at hand.

 
Steering system

Short steering tiller preserves cabin space and reduces operator fatigue for prolonged comfort over long shifts.

Ergonomics – Standing
Yale-3WS-Ergo-Standing.png

The open operator compartment on the Yale® three-wheel stand truck is designed to support natural movement, easy entry and exit, and greater comfort throughout the shift, helping reduce fatigue and maintain productivity in demanding warehouse environments.

  • 17% larger compartment than a leading competitor, with a wide opening and low step height for easier entry and exit.
  • More comfort throughout the shift with ample floor space and flexibility to adjust foot position.
  • Reduced vibration and shock with floor options offering up to 7%, 25%, or 65% shock reduction.
  • Easy-to-use suspended floor with no manual weight adjustments required, unlike some competitive models.
  • Optical operator sensing eliminates foot-actuated pedals, allowing greater freedom to reposition comfortably.
  • Standard footrest compatibility lets operators work comfortably while using the footrest, a feature not offered on all competitive models.
Large, ergonomic cab
Spacious cab

Wide door opening allows for easy ingress and egress and accommodates larger operators and multiple foot positions. Choose between three floor options: fixed, ultra cushion or fully suspended for the ultimate reduction in vibration.

Operator footrest
Operator footrest

Offers operators postural relief and a choice of foot positions. Unlike competitor models that use a dead man pedal system, using the footrest does not cease truck operation.

 
Operation Sensing System

Sensor positioning reduces the possibility of detection errors and inadvertent truck deactivation. This makes truck operation more predictable and helps keep operators productive throughout the shift.

 
Storage and ports

Multiple storage areas help operators keep important items like scanners and clipboards secure and accessible. Optional USB and 12-volt auxiliary power ports enable the lift truck to be equipped with additional monitors or electronic devices.

Visibility
Visibility-640x424.png

Visibility is critical to lift truck operator safety and productivity. We designed the three-wheel stand-up forklift so your operators can get a good look at their load, not at the mast.

  • Narrow mast channels and a wide window between them maximize through-the-mast visibility.
  • Overhead guard combines flat plates and strategically placed bars for a clear view through the overhead guard when handling loads at heights.
  • Standard headlights project forward and down to help operators work in trailers and other dimly lit areas.
  • Optional pedestrian awareness lights show bystanders the truck is active and operational.
Mast design
Mast design

With narrow channels spaced farther apart, operators are equipped with high visibility for maximum productivity. The mast is also made of durable materials for long-lasting performance.

 
Overhead guard

Low-profile bars and a combination plate and bar design provide excellent operator visibility through the overhead guard for better interfacing with racking when lifting loads at height.

 
Lighting options

Standard headlights project forward and down to help operators work in trailers and other dimly lit areas. Optional pedestrian awareness lighting draws attention to the three-wheel stand for greater awareness as the forklift moves through the facility.

Performance
Yale-3WS-Performance-640x424.png

The three-wheel stand is designed to take on the demands of fast-paced warehousing environments. Best-in-class productivity with lowest energy consumption makes the Yale model 37.5% more efficient than the equivalent leading competitive forklift models.

  • Available high-performance hydraulics bring lift and lower speed to class-leading levels.
  • With standard hydraulics, forks raise at 63 feet per minute when laden and 84 feet per minute when unladen. Forks lower at 102 feet per minute when laden and 98 feet per minute when unladen.
  • A top speed of 8 mph pushes productivity without compromising on safety awareness.
  • Equipped with the standard lead acid battery, the Yale three-wheel stand uses 5% less energy than leading competitive models.
    • Optional Yale Power Key provides flexibility for warehouses to change among forklift battery technologies with ease and agility.
Standard stability management technology
Dynamic Stability System

Advanced lift truck stability technology comes standard. It applies tilt limitations, reduces travel speed and controls cornering speed with elevated loads to promote stability and reduce the risk of tip overs.

 
High-performance hydraulics

Optional high-performance hydraulics bring load lift and lower speeds to class-leading levels.

Serviceability and Cost of Operation
