Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a regular work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely necessary to be able to make sure that the truck keeps productivity levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered using heavy-duty parts for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Furthermore, excellent visibility is provided with the open carriage design and the optimal hose routing.
The Reach Assembly Rear Carrier provides rigidity and durability by being mounted on angled load rollers so as to resist side to side forces. Additionally, 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 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 movement side to side and the twisting of the reach assembly throughout rough tasks. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are key pivot points which have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential damage and binding are various wires and hoses. The carriage is one more important part. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option in order to stop high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to reduce stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
The mast's rigidity and durability are crucial 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 must be rigid enough to resist any twisting caused by any off-center loading problems or the truck's motion. The mast should be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with minimum consumption of power.
