A reach truck is a type of forklift specifically designed for handling materials in tight spaces and narrow aisles, commonly found in warehouses and distribution centers. Unlike standard forklifts, reach trucks have an extended reach mechanism that allows the forks to extend forward, helping to retrieve and store pallets at greater heights and depths. This design enables operators to access loads that are positioned behind several other pallets or stored high up on racking systems. Reach trucks often feature a pantograph or scissor mechanism that facilitates horizontal extension of the forks, and they typically offer excellent maneuverability with a compact chassis and enhanced visibility for precise operations. Their ability to maximize vertical storage space makes them an integral asset in optimizing warehouse efficiency.
