Reach Assembly & Carriage
During a regular work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these things is definitely required in order to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered 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. What's more, 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 offers durability and rigidity as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, 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 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.
Routed through a flexible track in order to reduce potential damage and binding are various wires and hoses. The carriage is one more important part. 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 decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital component to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be very rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it can rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
