Battery electric with moving mast, for warehousing duties in narrow aisles from 2.7 m. Side seated operator. Load retracted for travelling, reached forward for stacking. The load handler can be moved hydraulically in the direction of the load wheel arms. Since these trucks are fitted with small wheels (usually polyurethane rollers) they are only able to work indoors on flat grounds. A number of attachments can be fitted.

Types of Reach Trucks: Pedestrian Reach Trucks

• • Stand-On Reach Trucks (driver standing on a platform)
• • Driver Seated Reach Trucks (driver sits 90 degrees to travel direction)
• • Driverless Reach Trucks

The advantages of the Reach Trucks are:

• • narrow working aisles due to tight turning radius
• • excellent load center while travelling

The disadvantages are:
