Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. To be able to make certain that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely needed. Yale reach devices are designed using 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. What's more, superior visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. The side weldments on the thick inner frame have also been engineered for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points which make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points decrease the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly during tough operations. To be able to decrease 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.
There are a variety of wires and houses routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible damage and binding. Another vital 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
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 needs to be very rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
