Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a regular work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these items is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices 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. In addition, 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 since it is mounted on angle load rollers. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while handling load. 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 lessen the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly in tough operations. To be able to decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of wires and houses routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce possible binding and damage. Another essential component is the carriage. 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 lessen stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are vital to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence. This is moreso when the reach truck is being operated at tall lift heights. The mast needs to be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast has to be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth way with the least power consumption.
