Reach trucks are electric trucks usually found in warehouses. They are known as narrow aisle trucks as they can operate in narrower aisles than counterbalances and can lift to higher heights. This warehouse specialist truck achieves this using reach mast technology - Jungheinrich’s very own invention. The mast including the forks are pushed forward to grab the load outside the wheel arms. The mast can then be pulled back, so the load can be transported within the vehicle’s frame. This increases the truck’s stability, reduces the necessity of counterbalance weight and consequently allows for a shorter chassis design.
