The reach truck is undisputedly one of the common types of material handling equipment that can be found in the warehouse. Basically, as given its name, it 'reaches' out to racks that can be up to 5 high in height. It saves tons load of energy having to transfer pallets up and down the racks and can be relatively easy to use as well.
Driven around almost like a normal vehicle, operators can manoeuvre its way around the warehouse without much fuss, given its small machinery size. They come in many different kinds of model, some equipped with sophisicated technologies such as anti-brake system, power steering and all sorts. Most ones we typically see in warehouses are probably the ones that enable the operators to seat while doing their job. However, there are also reach trucks that allow the user to stand while operating the machine.
