At TAG Forklifts, we provide focused reach truck training to certify operators to expertly handle these specialised forklifts designed for narrow aisle environments.

Reach trucks are purpose-built electric forklifts engineered specifically for warehouse applications. They utilise a telescoping mast that allows the forks to extend forwards to "reach" into and retrieve loads from narrow aisle racking and shelving systems.
Key features of reach trucks:
With their ability to operate in confined spaces and lift loads to heights over 5 metres on racks, reach trucks are ideal for warehouse inventory picking, put-away, replenishment and other narrow aisle handling tasks.
A narrow wheeled base enables manoeuvring in tight aisle ways as narrow as 2.1 metres.
The multi-stage mast extends forwards up to 1.6 metres to precisely place and retrieve loads into racking.
A lighter rear end improves manoeuvrability in congested spaces.
Typically between 1 to 2.5 metric tonnes.
Single, double or triple forks configurations are available.
Operators can choose between a stand-up or sit-down working position.

Reach trucks excel at material handling tasks in storage facilities where space is extremely limited, including:
The telescoping mast allows efficient, accurate retrieval of pallets deep within shelving.
Loads can be precisely positioned into racking at heights over 5 metres.
Inventory can be rapidly cycled from reserve storage to pick locations.
Reach trucks can access parts inventory for manufacturing.
Heated cabs allow operation even in deep freeze environments.
Key benefits compared to standard forklifts include:
In summary, rich trucks enable warehouses to maximise storage capacity while optimising access, inventory cycling and picking productivity.
