Reach Assembly & Carriage
In a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a huge amount of stress. High durability of these things is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered utilizing heavy-duty components for durability and long life. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Moreover, 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 rigidity and durability because it is mounted on angle load rollers. In addition, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure shocks and vibration during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 reduce the side to side motion and twisting of reach assembly in tough operations. To be able to reduce carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major pivot points that have grease fittings so as to ensure longer service life by providing lubrication.
Routed through a flexible track in order to reduce potential damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is another important part. 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 decrease stress on the reach mechanism itself.
Mast
A vital part to both the operator's confidence and the truck's overall uptime come from the mast's durability and rigidity. This is particularly true at the tall lift heights where the reach trucks operate. The mast needs to be rigid enough to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading problems. The mast should be sure it is able to rise and lower in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
