Carriage and Reach Assembly
In a regular work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these items is definitely necessary to be able to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed utilizing heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Furthermore, superior 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. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 during rough tasks. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible damage and binding are a variety of wires and hoses. The carriage is another essential component. 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 reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are crucial to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast has to be very rigid to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
