Carriage and Reach Assembly
During a regular work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely required in order to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered utilizing 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.
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 endure shocks and vibration while handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame have also been designed for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points that make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points decrease the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly throughout tough operations. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another important component. 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 lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's durability and rigidity 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 rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum power consumption.
