Increased visibility and operator
comfort updates have been made to
the Yale MR series of reach trucks.
The reach truck's overhead guard has been completely redesigned without any compromise to its strength or security. The guard maintains driver protection whilst offering significantly improved upward visibility.
Senior product strategy manager for warehouse equipment, Robert O'Donoghue says: "To enhance operator comfort we have made changes to the truck that allow a new full suspension ergonomic seat to be installed. Designed to drastically reduce whole body vibration, the seat has a very low profile mechanical suspension, a shock absorber and an integral lumbar support. A weight adjustment range dial allows the seat to be adjusted quickly for multiple users ranging from 45 to 170kg and there is also an adjustable backrest angle with a setting range from -5 to 30 degrees."
