Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress in a typical work shift. To be able to make certain that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered utilizing heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. As well, excellent visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks while handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 reduce the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly throughout tough operations. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to reduce potential damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is one more essential component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen 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 particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast has to be rigid enough to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum power consumption.
