Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a regular work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these items is absolutely necessary to be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed using heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. Furthermore, superior visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks while handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 reduce the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. In order to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track in order to decrease possible damage and binding. Another important part is the carriage. 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 lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A crucial component 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 needs to be very rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast has to be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
