Reach Trucks
Reach truck is an electric high-lift pallet stacker with a multi-section extendable mast designed for use in warehouses. The reach trucks are used to work in racking systems and can handle loads of up to 2.0 tons at heights of 6 meters and above.
The reach trucks are recommended for companies that store products on pallets and need to process orders quickly. Due to its high maneuverability, the reach trucks are used effectively in warehouses with narrow aisles between the racks. The reach truck has a special design that includes stabilizing legs to ensure balance when the mast with load is extended. This is also crucial for operator safety.
The electric reach trucks have excellent environmental performance as they do not produce any harmful emissions.
FAQ
The main differences between a reach truck and a traditional forklift are in their design, application, engine type and operational capabilities. While reach trucks are designed to work at high heights in narrow aisles and tight warehouse spaces, traditional forklifts offer more flexibility for use both indoors and outdoors.
The reach trucks are powered by an electric motor with a high-capacity battery, which allows to use the forklift for a long operational time. The electric engine provides high performance and the required speed, as well as low noise level.
The load is lifted and lowered with the help of an extendable mast with a wide range of working heights. The hydraulic drive ensures smooth lifting, both in relation to the transported load and to the operator. The forklift carriage with integrated side shifter enables efficient load handling.
Reach trucks combine several advantages that make them highly effective for specific warehousing and distribution applications. The main advantages are narrow aisle operation, high load capacity, maneuverability, stability, improved visibility and ergonomic design.
Due to its high maneuverability and other operational qualities, the reach trucks are widely used in such industries as shopping and logistics centers, regional warehouses, manufacturing plants with large volumes of products, etc. The main requirements for warehouses using reach trucks are the width of working aisles and the height of racks within the limits specified in the technical characteristics of the selected electric reach truck.
