Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress during a normal work shift. In order to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach devices are engineered using heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. What's more, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks while 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 reduce the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various houses and wires routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential damage and binding. One more vital component is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's durability and rigidity 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 has to be really rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast needs to be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
