Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots 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 certainly needed. Yale reach devices are engineered utilizing heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. Moreover, superior visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers durability and rigidity 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 while handling load. 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 movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track in order to reduce possible binding and damage. Another essential part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
