Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress throughout a normal work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely necessary. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered 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. Furthermore, superior visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. 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 reduce the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major 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 potential binding and damage. Another vital part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option so as to prevent 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 really rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
