Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are definitely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are designed using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. What's more, excellent 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. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been designed for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points which make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points reduce the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly throughout tough operations. To be able to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key 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 hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease 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 must be really rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
