Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. To be able to make certain that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are designed 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. Furthermore, excellent 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 durability and rigidity since it is mounted on angle load rollers. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration while load handling. 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 twisting and motion of reach assembly throughout tough operations. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential binding and damage are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided 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 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 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 can rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
