Carriage and Reach Assembly
During a regular work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these items is definitely required to be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. 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.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides durability and rigidity by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Additionally, 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 reduce the movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce potential damage and binding. Another vital component is the carriage. 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
A vital part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast needs to be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth way with minimum power consumption.
