What is a reach truck?
A reach truck is a narrow-aisle, right-angle stacking truck designed for unit load handling with rack interface. These lift trucks are meant to operate in narrow aisles and are best for storing and retrieving pallets in racks. They are engineered with two outer legs that help distribute the load weight, and a single set of wheels in the back.
Reach trucks are typically found in applications such as cold storage (refrigerated warehousing), narrow aisles, long-load handling, and truck loading/unloading. -
Reach trucks are available in hundreds of configurations to meet your specific warehouse and application.
The universal stance reach truck allows the operator to look comfortably straight up while storing and retrieving loads. With the universal stance, the driver can face forward with an open view when handling and storing pallets, and face the direction of travel when moving tractor-first.
The dockstance or side stance reach-fork truck has a compartment designed to allow operators to vary positions throughout their shift. Multiple lean points are its key feature, helping reduce operator fatigue.
