Hyundai Reach Forklift San Antonio

Reach Forklifts

In most distribution centers or warehouse settings, overall space is usually limited. If you could get a machine to use in smaller spaces and aisles, the more storage space a company would be able manage. Hence, specialized equipment has been intended to be used in extremely narrow aisles in order to maximize efficiency and space.



Reach Trucks

A reach forklift is a specific piece of equipment that has a mast which extends away from the body of the forklift. It often is attached with a scissor apparatus. When the scissor is drawn in or compacted, the forklift becomes much narrower compared to the standard forklift.



Operator Position

Most reach trucks are designed so that the operator is standing while using the unit. This is a contrast to the standard lift truck where the operator is normally sitting. The standing operation area lessens the amount of room needed for the driver compartment, enabling the machine to accomplish an even smaller profile overall.



Space Saving

With a reach truck, aisles could be made as narrow as 7 feet. The majority of regular lift trucks require a minimum aisle space of roughly 11 feet; therefore, using a reach truck provides roughly a savings of 5 feet on each aisle. When the warehouse is leased by the square foot basis, this is a large amount of space.



Unique Controls

Normally, a reach truck is steered utilizing a rotating lever located beside the operator on a platform. There is another lever used to control the mast as well as for extending the mast and also to control reverse and forward. These controls are somewhat different compared to typical forklift controls.



Load Capacity

Normally, the reach truck's load capacity is less than that of a regular lift truck, depending on the type. This is largely because of the equipment's narrow design, that could lead to a very high center of gravity. When the mast is extended fully and the load is raised, this is actually true.
