Reach Assembly & Carriage
Throughout a typical 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 certain that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered utilizing 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. As well, 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 offers rigidity and durability as it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks while 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 lessen the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly throughout tough operations. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to reduce possible binding and damage are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another important component. 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 decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital component to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be rigid enough to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
