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 things is definitely necessary to be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed utilizing heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. Also, 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 since it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration during 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 in rough tasks. To be able to lessen 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.
Routed through a flexible track in order to reduce potential binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent 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 especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast should be very rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
