Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress in a normal work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach devices are engineered utilizing 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. What's more, 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 offers rigidity and durability because it is mounted on angle load rollers. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks during handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 in rough tasks. To be able to lessen 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.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease possible binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided 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 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 very rigid to resist 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 manner with the least consumption of power.
