Reach Truck

This course will provide you with the basic skills, knowledge and information to safely operate a Reach Truck.

Call today to discuss which scheme best suits your requirements.

A reach truck as the name implies is designed to stack at height and is commonly used to store loads in a rack formation. It was originally designed to work in smaller aisles and as such it has a very tight turning circle. It also has forks which can extend up to forty feet.
