Yale reaches new heights with heavy duty mast
April 16th 2008

The development of a new series of heavy duty masts will give Yale reach truck customers the ability to store and retrieve full pallets at up to 13m with high residual lift capacity. The Yale HD mast has a capacity of 1100Kg at 600mm load centres, at 10,000mm lift height.

Announcing the new heavy duty mast for the MR 16-20 reach truck, Yale Europe’s Paul Garrigan said: “The new design mast is based on the market demand to lift full pallets above twelve metres in complete safety, with minimum mast twist and sway – which the Yale heavy duty mast does perfectly.”

The new mast has few cross members to obstruct the operator's view, with fork tilt and integral side-shift as standard, to make pallet location at higher levels easy for operators. The addition of fork carriage cameras and closed circuit TV with an eye level monitor in the cab, gives operators additional confidence when handling pallets above 10m.
