Reach Assembly & Carriage
During a typical work shift, both the carriage and the reach assembly receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely required to be able to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are designed utilizing heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. Additionally, 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 as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand vibration and shocks while handling load. The side weldments on the thick inner frame 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 twisting and motion of reach assembly throughout tough operations. In order to decrease 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 a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track to be able to decrease potential binding and damage. Another vital 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 component 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 needs to be rigid enough to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast has to be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least power consumption.
