Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress throughout a normal work shift. In order to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these things are absolutely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered utilizing heavy-duty parts for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Furthermore, excellent visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
In order to resist side to side forces, the Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers durability and rigidity as 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 engineered 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 movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various wires and houses routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential damage and binding. Another important part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered 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 crucial component to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast needs to be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by any off-center loading issues or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
