Reach Truck
To be able to keep storage places tidy and to pile up pallets of goods and supplies, a reach truck could be used. The reach truck is available in quite a few kinds: the double-deep reach, straddle reach and the stand-up reach.
The most basic type is the stand-up. The truck forks slide beneath the pallet and move it to the correct storage place. The forks slide the pallet into position. This particular kind of reach truck is suitable when shelving units are one pallet deep.
Best for workplaces where the shelving units are deep enough to accommodate two pallets of goods, the double-deep reach truck, which is similar to the stand-up, is frequently utilized. This version has telescopic forks designed to position the pallet at the back of the shelving unit. This eliminates the need to push the pallet back when another pallet has to go into the same shelving section.
The added advantage of straddle reaches is that they could both slide beneath the pallet and grasp the sides as well. These are suitable for workplaces where shelving units are accessible in many directions. This particular version is best in conditions where goods would not be damaged if the pallet sides are grabbed.
Within the majority of warehouses, there are normally more than one kind of reach truck. Manufacturing facilities and textile companies utilize various kinds of reach trucks in their supply areas. The reach truck is not difficult to operate and can make the most of available storage space while increasing production.
