Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress during a normal work shift. To be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are definitely 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 great durability and better operator ergonomics. In addition, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to reduce the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential binding and damage are various hoses and wires. The carriage is one more important component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital component 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 needs to be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast needs to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum power consumption.
