Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress in a normal work shift. To be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are certainly necessary. Yale reach devices are engineered utilizing 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. In addition, superior visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
In order to resist side to side forces, the Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides rigidity and durability since it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks during handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame have also been designed for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points which make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points decrease the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly in tough operations. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another important part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered 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
A crucial part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence 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 withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum power consumption.
