Reach Assembly & Carriage
Throughout a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these items is certainly required to be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered utilizing 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. What's more, superior visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers 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 withstand shocks and vibration during handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 decrease the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce possible damage and binding. Another vital part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen 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 must be really rigid to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum power consumption.
