Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress throughout a normal work shift. In order to make certain 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. Moreover, 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 so as to resist side to side forces. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been designed 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 during tough operations. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce possible binding and damage. 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
A crucial component 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 really rigid to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast has to be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum power consumption.
