Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress in a normal work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are certainly necessary. Yale reach devices are designed using 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. In addition, 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. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration while handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points that make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points lessen the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly in tough operations. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential damage and binding are a variety of wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option so as to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A crucial part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast needs to be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
