Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these items is certainly necessary to be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high. 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, 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 provides rigidity and durability as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while 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 movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout 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 guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce potential damage and binding. One more important part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A crucial component to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime 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 endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
