Reach Trucks: 7 Models Compared

A reach truck moves the mast or the forks forward to pick up a load, which lets the wheels sit under the load rather than behind it. That removes the need for a long counterweight and cuts the aisle width substantially compared with a counterbalance truck. Reach trucks are indoor machines, almost always electric, and are built for height. The specifications that matter are lift height, overall width and the aisle width figure.
