Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely necessary. Yale reach devices are designed using heavy-duty components for long life and durability. 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 provides rigidity and durability as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration while handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 reduce the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. To be able 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 decrease potential damage and binding are a variety of hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered 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 operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast has to be really rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
