Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress in a normal work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are certainly needed. 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 better operator ergonomics and great durability. Additionally, excellent visibility is provided with the optimal hose routing and the open carriage design.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers in order to resist side to side forces. Furthermore, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while load handling. 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 motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly in rough tasks. To be able to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential binding and damage are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another important component. 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 lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are crucial to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast should be really rigid to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast needs to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
