Reach Truck
In order to keep storage places tidy and to stock up supplies and pallets of goods, a reach truck could be used. The reach truck comes in several kinds: the double-deep reach, straddle reach and the stand-up reach.
The most basic kind is the stand-up. The forks of the truck slide underneath the pallet and move it to the correct storage location. The forks slide the pallet into place. This particular type of reach truck is recommended when shelving units are one pallet deep.
Ideal for workplaces where the shelving units are deep enough to have two pallets of goods, the double-deep reach truck, that is like the stand-up, is commonly utilized. This particular model has telescopic forks designed to place the pallet at the back of the shelving unit. This saves having to push the pallet back when another pallet has to go into the same shelving section.
The additional advantage of straddle reaches is that they could both slide under the pallet and grasp the sides as well. These are suitable for workplaces where shelving units can be accessed in many directions. This version is best in situations where goods would not be damaged if the sides of the pallet are grabbed.
Inside nearly all warehouses, there are usually more than one kind of reach truck. Manufacturing facilities and textile companies use various kinds of reach trucks in their supply areas. The reach truck is not hard to operate and could make the most of available storage space while increasing productivity.
