Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a lot of stress in a normal work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are definitely necessary. Yale reach devices are designed utilizing 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 offers durability and rigidity as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks during load handling. 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 decrease the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. In order to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings in order to guarantee longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are various houses and wires routed through a flexible track to be able to reduce possible binding and damage. Another essential 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 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 rigidity and durability. This is especially true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must 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 is able to lower and rise in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
