Reach trucks
Reach trucks – maneuverable and powerful
For more than 60 years, our reach trucks have been impressing customers around the world with their reliability and performance. The electric reach trucks set new standards, especially in confined spaces – thanks to their compact design combined with very high lifting capacity.
The reach truck principle
The reach truck has two major strengths: firstly, its compactness and secondly, its considerable lifting height of up to 14,000 mm. When picking up loads, the reach truck pushes its mast forwards until the fork lies freely in front of the truck. This process is called feed. This is followed by the so-called push-back, which pulls the goods back for transport between the front and rear axles. This principle shortens the overall length of the truck, making it particularly maneuverable. It also improves driving stability and reduces the need for counterweights. In this way, our reach trucks can transport loads weighing up to 2.5 tons quickly and safely to their destination.
Electric reach truck: Specialist in narrow aisles
When it comes to intralogistics, you rely on optimum space utilization with narrow rack aisles. This is precisely where our electric reach trucks demonstrate their full capabilities. Thanks to the reach mast and the resulting compactness, they navigate effortlessly through narrow aisles. Our reach trucks achieve particularly strong acceleration as well as high lifting and pushing speeds, thus ensuring superior handling performance.
We also cater to the individual requirements of your company and the storage systems used with the freely selectable option packages, from “Efficiency” to “drive&liftPLUS”. This allows you to manage fast pallet handling even at high lifting heights and cover long travel distances at high travelling speeds.
Reach trucks for indoor and outdoor use
In addition to a wide range of lifting heights and load capacity classes, our reach truck program also includes vehicles for different floor conditions. This ensures a high level of driving safety on any terrain. In addition, weather protection cabins can be retrofitted for outdoor use.
Reduce costs with reach trucks
With our reach trucks, you benefit from a wide range of technical and ergonomic advantages. These include our innovative energy recovery technology during braking, which significantly reduces energy consumption. This can reduce your operating costs by up to 20 percent in the long term. Numerous control and monitoring functions are also available for greater efficiency and safety – from different drive programs to PIN access authorization and height preselection.

Advantages and highlights of the Reach Truck
Explore the advantages of using a ride-on electric reach truck, highlighting why it is the preferred choice for warehouse operations across industries:
1. Ideal for operating in warehouses with narrow spaces and high racks.
The reach truck excels in warehouses or factories with limited space between shelves. Its unique design features two outer legs that distribute weight effectively during high lifts, supported by a set of wheels underneath for a narrow turning radius. These innovations enable seamless operation in narrow aisle areas, making it an ideal choice for efficient warehouse management.
2. Enhanced Visibility
Achieve perfect visibility in all directions with the side-facing design. The steering wheel's 180-degree or 360-degree rotation enhances observation during mast lifting and forward movement, empowering operators to maintain control and ensure safety.
3. Streamlined with a narrow turning radius design.
The electric reach truck is designed to be highly agile, compact, and efficient during operation. It boasts a narrow turning radius of up to 2.8 meters, making it particularly suitable for operations in narrow space.
4. Efficient Pallet Stacking
One of the strong points of the Reach Truck is its ability to stack pallets on racks up to 13,000 millimeters or 13 meters high. It also supports various applications that make work easier, such as a wide color display screen, telescopic features at forks, and other additional assistance systems that contribute to smoother operations.
5. Electric-powered by battery, providing an environmentally friendly and safe workplace for operators and workers in the warehouse.
Electric batteries offer environmental friendliness and enhance operator safety. Their use not only reduces air pollution but also saves money in the long run. Additionally, batteries are easy to maintain and operate quietly, without generating loud noises.
Explore how these features of the electric reach truck can optimize warehouse operations, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impact.
Which types of warehouses require reach trucks for their operations?
The electric reach truck is ideal for warehouses with narrow spaces where traditional forklifts are impractical or less efficient, especially indoors on flat surfaces. It excels in tight spaces and can lift heavy loads several meters high, enhancing efficiency and ease of operations. Its agile maneuverability allows it to turn in all directions, making it a versatile choice for smoother and more efficient workflow.
