Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a lot of stress in a normal work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. 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 great durability and better operator ergonomics. Moreover, superior visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers 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 withstand shocks and vibration during handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points that make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points decrease the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly during tough operations. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential binding and damage are various hoses and wires. The carriage is one more important part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce 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 really rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
