Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress throughout a normal work shift. To be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are certainly 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 great durability and better operator ergonomics. What's more, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration 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 decrease 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 that have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various houses and wires routed through a flexible track to be able to decrease potential damage and binding. One more vital component is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option so as to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease 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 durability and rigidity. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast needs to be rigid enough to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
