Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress during a normal work shift. To be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered using heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. In addition, 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 offers durability and rigidity since it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, 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 engineered for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points that 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 lessen 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 reduce possible binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is one more vital part. 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
A vital part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast has to be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
