Designed for very narrow aisles, the forklifts can handle loads up to heights of 13.6 metres. Additional features include special truck forks, which can pick up and deposit loads at both the left and right side without compromising productivity or safety. On this course the driver will cover all areas of use.
Reach Truck Training
Reach trucks are forklifts used in narrow aisle warehouses. They are designed to have two outer legs that help distribute the load, and a single set of wheels in the back. Reach trucks instil confidence in the most challenging warehouse environments but need careful handling. When used to their full potential, reach trucks can bring down operational costs per pallet stored by enabling reduced aisle widths. Training on the safe and effective use of reach trucks is delivered by MHE throughout all industry sectors, and across different variants developed for more specialist applications such as multi-directional, and outdoor use.
