Reach Trucks

Key Features of Our Reach Trucks

A reach truck is a specialized forklift with the following key features:

• Narrow aisle capability: With their compact design, reach trucks maneuver effortlessly in tight spaces, maximizing operational efficiency.
• Extended reach and lifting height: Reach trucks can elevate their forks above the truck body, enabling operators to access pallets from deeper storage racks without repositioning the entire vehicle.
• Mast design: Reach trucks have telescoping masts that extend and retract to reach deeper into racking systems. Many reach trucks have masts with stability features to reduce the risk of tipping.
• Advanced control systems: Reach trucks have intuitive and ergonomic controls to make it easier for operators to maneuver the truck for greater operational efficiency.
• Advanced safety features: Every reach truck has a wide range of safety features, including stability and automatic braking systems, to create a safer operation.

How to Choose a Reach Truck for Your Warehouse

Choosing the right reach truck for your warehouse involves evaluating your needs and layout. Some of the main factors to consider when browsing our forklifts for sale include the following:

Assess Your Load Requirements

Determine the maximum weight your reach trucks need to handle to ensure the model you choose can safely accommodate your heaviest loads. Measure the dimensions of the loads your reach truck will carry to select an option with a compatible fork size.

Evaluate the Layout of Your Warehouse

Reach trucks are ideal for narrow aisles, though each model has its own width requirements. Make sure to measure the truck and the aisles of your warehouse before making a purchase. You will also want to consider the clear height of your warehouse and ensure you can raise your truck and pallets as high as necessary.

Consider the Operation Type

Think about how often you will use your reach truck. If you plan on using your reach truck daily, you may want to consider an electric model because it can charge quickly.

Analyze Operator Comfort

Take some time to look over the operator compartment and check that it has comfortable features like adjustable seating, easy-to-reach controls and good visibility. Since your operators will be using this machinery frequently, you want to make sure you choose an option that allows them to be comfortable.
