Carriage and Reach Assembly
In a regular work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these things is definitely required to be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. As well, 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 in order to resist side to side forces. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during handling load. 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 decrease the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly throughout tough operations. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various houses and wires routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential binding and damage. Another vital component is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability 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 must be very rigid to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast should be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
