Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the carriage and the reach assembly receive lots of stress during a normal work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps productivity levels high, high durability of these items are absolutely necessary. Yale reach mechanisms are designed using heavy-duty components 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 provides durability and rigidity as it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks while load handling. 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 reduce the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly during tough operations. In order to lessen carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points which have grease fittings in order to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
There are a variety of houses and wires routed through a flexible track in order to lessen potential damage and binding. Another essential part is the carriage. 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 decrease 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 must be very rigid to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast has to be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth manner with the least consumption of power.
