Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive lots of stress in a typical work shift. To be able to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are definitely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are designed utilizing 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. What's more, 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 provides durability and rigidity because it is mounted on angle load rollers. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration during handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 decrease the motion side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly during rough tasks. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another vital 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
A crucial part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's rigidity and durability. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast must be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast should be sure it can lower and rise in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
