Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress throughout a typical work shift. In order to make certain that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are definitely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered using heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Also, 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 so as to resist side to side forces. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration while load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered 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 during tough operations. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce potential binding and damage. Another vital part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast needs to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum power consumption.
