Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a normal work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. 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 offers durability and rigidity as it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration during handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered 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 in rough tasks. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered 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
A crucial part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence 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 endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth way with minimum power consumption.
