Reach Trucks
Reach trucks for high-bay warehouses, combining narrow-aisle agility with lift heights and residual capacities for pallet racking.
How to choose a reach truck
A reach truck is the high-bay specialist: the mast (or fork carriage) extends forward to pick up the pallet and retracts for travel, so the truck works in aisles far narrower than any counterbalanced forklift while lifting to heights a warehouse actually uses. Selection comes down to lift height, residual capacity at that height, and aisle width. The core range covers the REV15 (1500 kg, up to 7000 mm) and REV20 (2000 kg, up to 7400 mm), while the REV20VP reaches 8–12 m and the super-compact REV16 squeezes 7.4–9.5 m lift out of a minimal footprint.
Special layouts have dedicated models: seated and standing counterbalanced reach trucks that need no straddle legs, fork-reach (scissor) models for double-deep racking, and for very narrow aisles the man-down REV15BP and man-up REV15TS working up to 13 m. For horizontal transport and lower racking compare electric forklifts, electric stackers and order pickers. Contact us with your racking heights, aisle widths and pallet weights and we will spec the right truck.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a reach truck and a counterbalanced forklift?
A reach truck carries the load within its wheelbase (the mast or forks extend to pick and place), so it needs no heavy counterweight and turns in much narrower aisles — the standard choice inside pallet racking. A counterbalanced forklift is more versatile outdoors and on ramps, but needs wider aisles.
What does residual capacity mean and why does it matter?
A truck rated 2000 kg does not lift 2000 kg at every height — capacity drops as the mast rises. The residual capacity chart in each model's documentation states what it lifts at your top beam level; that figure, not the nominal rating, is what must cover your heaviest pallet.
Which reach truck works in very narrow aisles?
Dedicated VNA models: the man-down REV15BP (5–10.5 m) keeps the operator at floor level, while the man-up REV15TS (9.2–13 m) lifts the cabin with the load for direct picking at height. Both typically run in guided aisles — send us your aisle dimensions and we will check the fit.
What lift heights do reach trucks cover?
Standard models cover roughly 3 to 7.4 m, the REV20VP extends to 8–12 m, and VNA man-up models reach 13 m. Above ~7 m, mast options and floor quality start to matter as much as the truck itself — factor both into the selection.
How quickly can a reach truck be delivered?
Reach trucks are configured per order (mast height, battery, options). Request a quote on the product page and we will confirm the current lead time, delivery cost and commissioning support for your location.
