Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these items is absolutely necessary to be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are designed 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. Moreover, superior visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks during load handling. 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 decrease the motion 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 key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track to be able to decrease potential damage and binding. Another important component is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are crucial to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast should be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
