Carriage and Reach Assembly
Throughout a typical 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 devices are designed using heavy-duty components for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Furthermore, superior visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
In order to resist side to side forces, the Reach Assembly Rear Carrier offers durability and rigidity since it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while handling load. The thick inner frame's side weldments have also been engineered for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points which make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points lessen the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly in tough operations. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points that have grease fittings so as to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another essential part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed offered with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital part to both the truck's overall uptime and the operator's confidence come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast should be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it could lower and rise in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
