Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a normal work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely necessary. Yale reach devices are engineered utilizing 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. Furthermore, 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. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to reduce the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee 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 one more essential component. 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 lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's durability and rigidity 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 rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast needs to be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
