Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely required to be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed 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. As well, 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 so as to resist side to side forces. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 motion and twisting of reach assembly in tough operations. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to lessen possible binding and damage. One more important component 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 decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A crucial part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast has to 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 is able to rise and lower in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
