Yale Europe introduces raised operator module
FLEET, United Kingdom
Yale Europe Materials Handling will showcase a new raised operator compartment for the Yale Veracitor VX range at CeMAT 2008 in Hannover next week.

With a 500mm (20 inch) higher operator position than the standard Veracitor VX series, Yale claims the raised operator module offers clear forward vision and better all-round visibility when using attachments and manoeuvring in tight spaces.

Common applications for the raised operator version of the Veracitor VX include the drinks production and distribution, paper, timber, plastics and automotive parts industries.
