Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a typical work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these items is absolutely required to be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are designed utilizing heavy-duty parts for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. In addition, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides 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 withstand vibration and shocks during handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been designed for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to decrease the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. To be able to lessen 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.
Routed through a flexible track in order to reduce possible binding and damage are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another important 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 lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are vital to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast should be really rigid to withstand any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
