Reach Truck Forklift Training Course

 A narrow-aisle forklift designed for high racking systems

The reach truck forklift is engineered for operations in narrow aisles and high racking, featuring extendable forks that allow operators to 'reach' into racking systems. 


This design enables efficient use of warehouse space by facilitating access to goods stored at elevated levels. ​

Ideal for warehouses with limited space and high storage density

Reach trucks are particularly beneficial in warehouses where space optimization is crucial. Their ability to operate in tight spaces and lift loads to significant heights makes them ideal for environments requiring high-density storage solutions. 


The enhanced visibility and maneuverability of reach trucks contribute to improved efficiency and safety in material handling operations.
