Reach Trucks

What is a Reach Truck?

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.

Benefits

• Operate in narrow aisle reach environments to increase storage density and reduce building costs.
• Precision pallet handling with an extendable mast for accurate put-away and retrieval.
• Lower energy use and reduced tire wear compared with larger trucks in the same tasks.
• Improved throughput for order picking and replenishment in high-turn warehouses.

Why Your Business Should Consider One

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.

Long-Term Advantages

• Scales with growth—easily supports higher rack heights and deeper bays.
• Lower maintenance versus ICE forklifts; fewer moving parts with AC drive.
• Supports safety initiatives via improved visibility and ergonomic controls.
