What Is a Reach Truck Forklift?

A reach truck forklift is a specialist warehouse truck designed to lift, retrieve and position pallets on high-level racking. Its extending mast or fork carriage allows operators to reach into racking while maintaining a compact design for manoeuvring in narrow aisles.

Unlike counterbalance forklifts, which are suited to general material handling and vehicle loading, reach trucks are primarily designed for high-level pallet storage on smooth warehouse floors. Their compact design makes them particularly useful in warehouses and distribution centres looking to maximise storage space.

Why Choose a Reach Truck?

Reach trucks help businesses maximise warehouse storage space while handling pallets efficiently in narrow aisles and at height. Key benefits include:

  • Narrow Aisle Manoeuvrability: Compact designs and tight turning circles allow reach trucks to operate efficiently between closely spaced warehouse racking.
  • High Lift Capability: Access elevated pallet racking and make better use of available vertical warehouse space.
  • Accurate Pallet Placement: Responsive controls support precise positioning and retrieval of pallets at height.
  • Operator Visibility: Depending on the model, mast designs, cameras and other features can help operators position loads safely.
  • Electric Operation: Battery-powered reach trucks offer quiet operation with no exhaust emissions at the point of use, making them well suited to indoor warehouses.

Reach Forklifts for Different Warehouse Requirements

Our wide range of reach forklifts covers conventional trucks and more specialist stacking and multi-directional configurations. The right option depends on your loads, racking, aisle widths and daily workflow needs. 

Electric & Lithium-Ion Reach Trucks

Conventional electric reach truck forklifts suit everyday pallet movement, replenishment and high-level racking needs. Welfaux offers models from HC, Clark and MiMA, including lead-acid and lithium-ion options. For example, the HC 1.4–2.5T Lithium Reach Truck has a maximum lift height of 13,000mm (13m), while the Clark SRX 1.4–1.6T reaches up to 10,500mm (10.5m).

Reach Pallet Stackers

Reach pallet stackers offer a compact solution for lighter-duty applications where a conventional reach truck may be unnecessary. Our range includes the MiMA MBG Lithium and HC A Series Stand-On models. The right choice depends on load capacity, lift height, travel distance and operator requirements. Our team can help you find the most suitable option.

Multi-Directional & 4-Way Reach Trucks

Multi-directional and 4-way reach trucks can travel sideways as well as forwards and backwards. This helps you move long or bulky loads through restricted spaces without requiring a large turning circle. Our range includes multi-directional MiMA models such as the MQZ and MQC, and the HC X Series 4-Way Lithium Reach Truck, which is well-suited to longer materials such as timber, steel and pipes.

Applications for Reach Trucks

Reach truck forklifts are ideal for indoor environments with narrow aisles and high-level pallet racking. Common applications include:

  • Warehousing: Storing, retrieving and replenishing palletised stock in narrow aisles and high racking.
  • Logistics & Distribution: Moving palletised goods efficiently through busy distribution centres and storage facilities.
  • Retail & Fulfilment: Supporting stock replenishment, order picking and storage operations.
  • Manufacturing: Transporting raw materials and finished goods between storage and production areas.

Specialist multi-directional and 4-way reach trucks can also handle long or bulky materials.

How to Choose the Right Reach Truck

Choosing the right reach truck forklift depends on your load requirements, warehouse layout and daily operations. Key factors to consider include:

  • Load Capacity: Check the weight, dimensions and load centre of your pallets, including the truck’s safe lifting capacity at height.
  • Lift Height & Racking: Consider your highest storage level, racking configuration and any overhead restrictions.
  • Aisle Width & Warehouse Layout: Measure aisle widths, turning areas, doorways and floor conditions to ensure safe manoeuvring.
  • Operating Hours: Assess daily usage, shift patterns and battery charging requirements to find a suitable electric reach truck.
  • Load Type & Operator Requirements: Consider load dimensions, operator comfort and visibility. Long or bulky materials may require a multi-directional or 4-way reach truck.

Reach Truck Forklift FAQs

What Is the Difference Between a Reach Truck and a Counterbalance Forklift?

In short, a reach truck is primarily designed for narrow warehouse aisles and high racking. A counterbalance forklift offers broader material handling versatility, including loading vehicles and some outdoor applications. The right choice depends on your warehouse layout, loads, lift height and working environment. 

How High Can a Reach Truck Lift?

Lift height will always vary by model and configuration. We currently list conventional reach trucks with maximum lift heights of up to 13,000mm among our range. Bear in mind that your chosen truck must also retain sufficient capacity for your load at the required height. 

How Much Weight Can a Reach Truck Lift?

Capacity varies between models. The correct truck for your operational needs depends on the load’s weight, dimensions and load centre, along with the required lift height and the weight the truck can safely carry at the required height. These details should be assessed together rather than relying on headline capacity alone. We’re here to offer our specialist advice if you require more details about what this means. 

How Wide Does an Aisle Need to Be for a Reach Truck?

There is no universal minimum. The required width depends on the truck, pallet and load dimensions, racking configuration and clearance requirements. Welfaux can assess your warehouse measurements during a free site visit before recommending a suitable model. 

Are Reach Trucks Suitable for Outdoor Use?

Conventional reach trucks are mainly designed for indoor warehouse use on smooth, level floors. Outdoor suitability depends on the individual truck, tyres, ground conditions and weather protection. For regular mixed use, another forklift type from our extensive range may be more appropriate.

Can Reach Trucks Handle Long or Bulky Loads?

Standard reach truck forklifts are primarily intended for pallets. Specialist multi-directional and 4-way models can handle suitable long or bulky loads in restricted spaces, including timber, steel and lengths of piping.

Can I Hire a Reach Truck from Welfaux?

Yes. We provide short- and long-term reach truck hire for seasonal demand, warehouse expansion, temporary stock increases and replacement cover. Explore our forklift truck hire options or contact us for current availability.

Can Welfaux Service and Repair Reach Trucks?
