Reach Truck

A reach truck is a type of powered industrial truck that is designed for use in narrow aisles and high storage areas. It is commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and other industrial settings to lift and move pallets of goods.

The main components of a reach truck include the mast, the forks, the reach mechanism, and the operator compartment. The mast is the vertical support structure that raises and lowers the forks, and it typically consists of two or three sections that can be extended to reach high storage areas. The forks are the horizontal components that support the load, and they can be adjusted to accommodate different pallet sizes. The reach mechanism is a feature that allows the forks to extend forward, allowing the operator to pick up or deposit pallets in narrow aisles. The operator compartment is where the operator sits or stands to control the reach truck.

Reach trucks are designed to be highly maneuverable and efficient, allowing them to operate in tight spaces and move loads quickly and easily. They are commonly used in high-density storage environments where space is limited, and they are well-suited for applications where precise control and maneuverability are important.
