Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are definitely necessary. Yale reach devices are designed 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. In addition, 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 as it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration while handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame have also been designed 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 throughout rough tasks. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible binding and damage are a variety of wires and hoses. The carriage is one more essential component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are vital 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 rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast has to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
