Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress in a normal work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are designed using heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. In addition, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 during rough tasks. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is one more vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A crucial component to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast should be rigid enough to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
