Carriage and Reach Assembly
In a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these items is absolutely required to be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered 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. Additionally, 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. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand 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 decrease the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. To be able to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another essential component. 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 reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital component to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be very rigid to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
