Reach Trucks

Reach trucks are specialized forklifts designed to maximize warehouse storage by efficiently placing and retrieving pallets from high racking in narrow aisles. Unlike a standard counterbalance forklift, a reach truck extends its forks into the rack while the body of the truck remains within the aisle, allowing it to work in tighter spaces and reach greater lift heights. This design increases storage capacity without expanding the warehouse footprint. Reach trucks are commonly used in distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, cold storage warehouses and fulfillment operations where space utilization and productivity are critical. Their precise controls, excellent visibility and compact design make them well suited for high-volume pallet handling and frequent rack access. When selecting a reach truck, consider rack height, aisle width, pallet weight and travel distance to determine the best solution for your warehouse.
