Carriage and Reach Assembly
Both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a lot of stress in a typical work shift. In order to ensure that the truck keeps production levels high, high durability of these things are definitely needed. Yale reach mechanisms are engineered utilizing heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for better operator ergonomics and great durability. Also, superior 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. Moreover, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to endure vibration and shocks during load handling. The side weldments on the thick inner frame have also been designed for durability.
There are tapered roller bearings at reach mechanism pivot points which make up the Reach Arm Mechanism. These pivot points decrease the side to side twisting and motion of reach assembly during tough operations. To be able to reduce 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.
Routed through a flexible track in order to decrease potential damage and binding are various wires and hoses. The carriage is another vital part. 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 crucial 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 should be really rigid to endure any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast should be sure it could rise and lower in a smooth way with the least consumption of power.
