Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress in a typical work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are designed utilizing heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. What's more, superior 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 so as to resist side to side forces. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks while handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 lessen the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly in tough operations. To be able to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is one more essential part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce 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 should be really rigid to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
