Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a normal work shift. To be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely necessary. Yale reach mechanisms are designed 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. In addition, superior visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
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 withstand shocks and vibration while handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 decrease 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 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 decrease potential damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital 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
The mast's rigidity and durability 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 should be very rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
