REACH TRUCKS

Built for Narrow Aisle Precision and High-Level Stacking

Maximise Warehouse Space with Reliable Reach Truck Performance

Designed for high-density storage environments where aisle space is limited and vertical stacking is essential. 

Reach trucks are built for warehouses, distribution centres, and cold storage facilities where you need to move palletised loads efficiently through narrow aisles and place them accurately at height. The compact chassis reduces the turning radius, allowing you to travel between racking lanes without repositioning, while the reach mechanism extends the forks forward into racking to maximize available storage space. 

Precision Performance and Customisation

A central control system manages both travel and hydraulic functions, giving you consistent handling when stacking or retrieving loads. To match specific application needs or operator skill levels, the FRB-9 series offers flexible adjustments to both travel and hydraulic inputs. The Soft-Landing System reduces fork lowering speed just before ground contact to minimize shock.

Why Warehouses Love Reach Trucks

From small e-commerce facilities to massive 3PL operations, reach trucks offer a set of unmatched benefits that improve both productivity and profitability:  

  • Reach New Heights – Literally. With their extended lift height capability - often surpassing 10 meters - reach trucks make full use of vertical warehouse space. This allows for additional storage tiers without expanding floor area.
  • Agile in Tight Spaces - Reach trucks are purpose-built for navigating narrow aisles and confined warehouse environments. Their compact frames and tight turning radii allow for superior manoeuvrability, enabling racking systems to be placed closer together without compromising access.
  • Lower Costs – A Greener Footprint Powered predominantly by electricity, reach trucks eliminate the fuel costs associated with LPG or diesel-powered alternatives. Their emission-free operation is not only eco-friendly but also ideal for indoor applications where air quality matters.
  • Safer, Smarter Handling - Reach trucks are engineered with enhanced visibility, ergonomic controls, and responsive braking systems. Some models also include stability systems, anti-rollback features, and load weight indicators - minimising operator error and accident risk.
  • Less Downtime - With fewer moving parts and an electric motor, maintenance needs are reduced significantly. The simplicity of electric drive systems translates to less wear and tear, quicker diagnostics, and reduced operational interruptions.

Safety and Stability in Daily Workflow 

In daily operations, our trucks prioritize stability and unintended-movement prevention. Operator presence systems and interlocks ensure the truck only functions when the operator is correctly positioned. 

Key safety features of the FRB-9 series include an anti-rollback function that maintains a very slow speed (approximately 1 km/h) when the brakes are released on an incline, allowing for a smooth and controlled restart on ramps. In addition, the anti-slip control system automatically limits power when tyre slippage is detected during travel, ensuring optimal traction and consistent driving force for stable, smooth operation. 

Electric Reach Trucks: The Future of Warehouse Efficiency 

Modern material handling is all about speed, sustainability, and safety. Electric reach trucks are meeting these demands head-on with a suite of operational advantages:  

Perfect for High-Volume Workflows   
Battery-powered models can handle intensive usage with minimal recharge time. Many come with quick-swap battery options or opportunity charging capabilities for maximum uptime.  

Sustainability Built-In   
With zero emissions and quieter operation, electric reach trucks contribute to green building certifications and improve warehouse working conditions.  

Engineered for Performance   
High-precision controls, faster lift/lower speeds, and smoother directional changes are standard on newer models – helping operators maintain productivity with less strain.

HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT REACH TRUCK

Choosing the ideal reach truck for your operation depends on several key factors:

  • Lift Height & Load Capacity - Consider the height of your highest racking beam and the average weight of your pallet loads. Select a truck that comfortably matches these requirements for operational safety and performance.
  • Warehouse Layout - Measure your aisle widths and assess turning clearance. Reach trucks are best suited for aisles between 2.5m and 3m, depending on the model.
  • Electric Advantage - Electric models are quieter, cleaner, and require less maintenance. They are the default choice for indoor settings but also thrive in semi-enclosed environments.
  • Workload & Frequency - If you’re running multiple shifts or handling high throughput, invest in premium features like regenerative braking, multi-directional controls, and battery management systems to extend run time and reduce operator fatigue.
