Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress throughout a typical work shift. In order to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are definitely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Additionally, superior 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 provides rigidity and durability as it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been designed 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 twisting and motion of reach assembly during tough operations. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential binding and damage are a variety of wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided 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 part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast should be really rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast should be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum power consumption.
