Carriage and Reach Assembly
In a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these items is certainly required to be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered using heavy-duty parts for durability and long life. 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.
In order to resist side to side forces, the Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers rigidity and durability because it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration 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 reduce the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. To be able to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which 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 reduce possible binding and damage. One more essential component is the carriage. 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 reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's durability and rigidity 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 problems or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
