Reach Assembly & Carriage
Throughout a regular work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these items is definitely required in order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. 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 great durability and better operator ergonomics. What's more, 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 provides durability and rigidity as it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration while handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 lessen the movement 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 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 to be able to reduce possible binding and damage. One more important part is the carriage. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option so as to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast has to be really rigid to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast has to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
