Reach Stacker
Forklift trucks are manufactured in such a way that they can operate in narrow aisles within warehouse areas.
To distribute the load weight, they have two outer legs with one or two wheels per leg in wheel configuration. Under the operator's seat, the drive wheels are located; the operator sits sideways when operating the machine. The forklift truck moves the load back into the wheelbase as it is lifted, which means that the forklift truck overhangs the load less, allowing the forklift truck to operate in narrower aisles.
The load capacity of a reach truck ranges from 1,000 kg to 3,000 kg.
Order pickers present inherent features and controls such as low step heights and padded platforms, ergonomic control handles, and panoramic views to help workers get more done with less effort.
Order picking is an important part of any warehouse interior. It represents 45% of the operating costs of any distribution centre compared to the receiving, storage and shipping phases and has a direct impact on customer satisfaction.
