Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. To be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are definitely needed. Yale reach devices are engineered 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. 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 so as to resist side to side forces. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks during 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 lessen the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. To be able to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential damage and binding are a variety of wires and hoses. The carriage is another essential part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as 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 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 should be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast has to be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
