Reach Assembly & Carriage
Throughout 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 production levels high. 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. Furthermore, 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 provides rigidity and durability because it is mounted on angle load rollers. Moreover, 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 lessen the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. To be able to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various wires and houses routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential damage and binding. One more important 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 reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital component to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast should be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth way with minimum power consumption.
