Hyundai Reach Forklift San Jose

Reach Forklifts

Space is normally at a premium in the majority of distribution centers or warehouse environments. The less space required for aisles in which to operate machines, the more space overall you would have to store products and goods. Therefore, specialized machine has been intended to be utilized in really narrow aisles so as to maximize space and efficiency.



Reach Trucks

A reach forklift is a specific kind of machinery that has a mast which extends away from the forklift's body. It normally is attached with a scissor apparatus. When the scissor is compacted or drawn in, the forklift becomes a lot narrower that the typical forklift.



Operator Position

Reach trucks are designed so the operator can stand while in operation of the machine. This is a contrast to the standard lift truck where the driver is usually sitting. The standing operation area reduces the amount of room required for the compartment of the driver, allowing the machinery to achieve an even smaller profile overall.



Space Saving

With a reach truck, aisles can be made as narrow as 7 feet. The majority of regular forklifts need a minimum aisle space of around 11 feet; therefore, using a reach truck provides around a savings of 5 feet on each and every aisle. When the warehouse is leased by the square foot basis, this is a significant amount of space.



Unique Controls

Normally, a reach truck is steered using a rotating lever located beside the operator on a platform. There is another lever used to control reverse and forward, the mast and for extending the mast. These controls are somewhat different than regular forklift controls.



Load Capacity

Usually, the reach truck's load capacity is less than that of a regular forklift, depending on the kind. This is largely due to the narrow design of the machine, that can cause a very high center of gravity. When the mast is fully extended and the load is raised, this is actually true.
