Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress in a typical work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are certainly necessary. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered using 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. In addition, superior visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers 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 during handling load. 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. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various wires and houses routed through a flexible track in order to reduce possible damage and binding. One more vital component is the carriage. 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 rigidity and durability 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 must be rigid enough to endure 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.
