Reach Trucks and Narrow Aisle Forklifts

Reach trucks are the ideal materials handling solution for working in narrow aisle or high vertical lift applications.

About Our Reach Trucks

Our range of reach trucks offer safe lifting between 1.4 – 2.5 tonne, with lift heights up to a maximum 12.5 metres.

The wheel base of reach truck is the same as a counterbalance forklift, but the truck’s body is more compact. The load is moved within the wheel base meaning less of the load is left protruding from the reach truck. This allows the unit to operate in narrower aisles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reach truck?

A reach truck is a forklift that’s designed to operate in warehouses with narrow aisles and taller shelves. It includes an extended mast so operators can reach tight storage racks. With a reach fork truck, it’s easy to access high-up pallets and maximise all vertical storage space.

What is a reach truck used for​?

Reach trucks are primarily used for accessing heavy goods stored on higher-up shelves and narrow isles. They work best in smaller warehouses where maximising space is essential. They allow your team to safely retrieve and move pallets from hard-to-reach places with ease.

What is the difference between forklift and reach truck?

Forklifts and reach trucks can both lift and transport goods. However, reach trucks are specifically used for navigating narrow aisles and high-up storage areas. They have extended masts so operators can reach into deep storage racks. Whereas standard forklifts only lift loads directly in front of them.

How high can a reach truck reach?

Our reach trucks can lift pallets to heights as tall as 11.4 metres. This makes them an ideal machine for maximising your high-up storage space, particularly in a more compact warehouse. Using a reach truck ensures that you can make the most out of the space you have available.

How much does a reach truck cost?

The amount you’ll pay for a reach truck depends on the model and the features that you choose. At Adaptalift, we offer ten models with varying price tags to suit small Australian businesses to large enterprises. Even better, you can rent our reach trucks if needed. Contact us for a free quote today.
