Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress during a typical work shift. In order to make certain that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely necessary. Yale reach devices are designed using heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. In addition, excellent 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 durability and rigidity because it is mounted on angle load rollers. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks during 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 lessen the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure 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 essential part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option so as to stop 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 crucial 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 resist any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
