Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a typical work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these things is definitely necessary in order to make certain that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed using heavy-duty parts for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. Moreover, superior visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. 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 throughout rough tasks. In order to reduce 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 decrease possible damage and binding are a variety of hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option so as to prevent 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 vital 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 rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast should be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
