Reach Assembly & Carriage
Throughout a typical work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered using 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. Additionally, superior 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 rigidity and durability because it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks 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 lessen the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly during tough operations. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible damage and binding are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital part. 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 decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's durability and rigidity are vital to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast has to be really rigid to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
