Carriage and Reach Assembly
In a regular work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely necessary to be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed utilizing heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Also, 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 durability and rigidity as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been designed for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to lessen the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. To be able to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential damage and binding. Another essential component 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 decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are vital to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast must be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum power consumption.
