Reach Assembly & Carriage
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a lot of stress throughout a normal work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these items are definitely necessary. Yale reach devices are designed using 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. As well, excellent 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 durability and rigidity since it is mounted on angle load rollers. Moreover, 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 engineered for durability.
The Reach Arm Mechanism is made up of tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points. The pivot points help to reduce the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. To be able to reduce 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 lessen possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital component. 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 lessen 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 has to be very rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
