What is a reach forklift?
Reach Trucks are forklifts typically used in narrow aisle warehouse environments. They are designed to have two outer legs that help distribute the load and a single set of wheels at the back. The wheels are below the operator, which helps create a tighter turn radius. This allows operators to navigate smaller spaces, and still be able to reach higher racking.
What is the lifting capacity of a reach forklift?
900kg to 5000kg
The Insite reach forklift operator course certifies individuals to drive a forklift with up to 5,000kg lift capacity.
What energy/power source do reach forklifts use?
Electric
