Mast rigidity and durability are crucial to both truck uptime and operator confidence, especially at the tall lift heights where reach trucks operate. The mast must be rigid enough to resist twisting caused by the motion of the truck, or off-center loading. At the same time, it must raise and lower smoothly with minimum power consumption. The industry-proven Yale mast includes rolled steel channels for high strength, adjustable brass wear plugs for excellent mast rigidity and serviceability and trunnion mounting to absorb vibration and shock.
Mast durability and strength are essential for high productivity and operator confidence, especially at the high lift heights that a reach truck must operate…
Mast Channels: - Rolled steel construction for durability and resistance to wear
- Variable channel overlap minimizes mast deflection and sway
Brass Wear Plugs: - Provides resistance against side to side loading and twisting forces during operation, improving mast rigidity
- Allows for periodic adjustment to critical tolerance without requiring mast disassembly, maximizing truck uptime
Mast Rollers: - Flat face provides full face contact between the roller and the channel, improving roller and channel life.
Trunnion Mounting: - Distributes vibration and shock from load forces to the frame
