Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a lot of stress in a normal work shift. In order to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are certainly needed. Yale reach devices are engineered using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. What's more, excellent visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while load handling. The side weldments on the thick inner frame have also been designed for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to lessen the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. To be able to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast has to be rigid enough to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
