Reach Assembly & Carriage
During a typical work shift, both the reach assembly and the carriage receive a large amount of stress. High durability of these things is definitely required to be able to make sure that the truck keeps production levels high. Yale reach devices are engineered using heavy-duty parts for long life and durability. The reach assembly is cushioned at the end of the stroke for great durability and better operator ergonomics. In addition, 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 durability and rigidity because it is mounted on angle load rollers. Additionally, the stronger inner frame assembly helps to withstand shocks and vibration during load handling. The thick inner frame's side weldments 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 decrease carriage twisting, dual reach cylinders are mounted. There are major 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 possible damage and binding are various hoses and wires. The carriage is one more important component. There is Reduced Carriage Travel Speed provided with Carriage Extended option in order to prevent high speed travel with the reach assembly extended. This helps to lessen 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 needs to be very rigid to withstand any twisting caused by the truck's motion or any off-center loading issues. The mast has to be sure it is able to lower and rise in a smooth way with minimum consumption of power.
