A reach truck is a specialized forklift reach machine designed to extend its mast forward so the forks can enter racking without the chassis moving close to the load. This lets teams work efficiently in tight aisles where a traditional counterbalanced forklift would struggle. Variants include standup reach trucks, walkie reach trucks, and moving mast models for very narrow aisles.
If you’re adding racking or re-slotting SKUs, a modern electric reach truck can boost picks per hour and cut travel distance. Operations that stage pallets, replenish case-pick bays, or feed production lines often find a reach truck outperforms a standard reach fork truck alternative for tight spaces.

Most reach trucks operate in ~8–10 ft aisles. Exact clearance depends on truck dimensions, pallet size, and rack depth.
A reach truck extends its mast to place pallets into racks without the chassis moving close, enabling tighter aisles and deeper storage.
Yes, but a counterbalance truck is typically faster for dock loading. Reach trucks excel at put-away and retrieval in racking.
No. Lead-acid and lithium systems are both used; lithium offers faster charging and higher energy density if you need multi-shift uptime.
Thousands of warehouses rely on reach lift forklift solutions for safer, faster pallet handling. As you add SKUs and rack height, the productivity gap widens in favor of reach equipment.
