It not only has a place in the forklift category, but also has specific requirements in the website products, which allows us to know different kinds of forklifts and enrich our knowledge.

1. The reach truck combines the characteristics of a counterbalanced forklift and an electric stacker, so it has some advantages in use. It has good operational flexibility and high load capacity. At the same time, its volume and weight will not increase a lot, which can effectively save the working space and improve the profit of the warehouse space

2. The lifting chain in the reach truck is very important. The lifting chain mainly plays the role of supporting the weight of the forklift and the cargo, and drives the forklift to lift. Therefore, it is an essential component. There are two specific types of lifting chains, the sheet type is suitable for large-tonnage forklifts, and the sleeve type is suitable for small and medium-sized forklifts.

3. There are some differences between stand-on reach forklifts and ride-on reach forklifts. The stand-up reach forklift has the advantages of no pollution, low noise and high energy conversion rate, and is suitable for high-level operation in a limited space. The ride-on reach forklift is supported by three fulcrums, with two support wheels on the left and right in the front for loading, and one support wheel in the rear for driving and steering. However, in terms of stability, ride-on reach trucks are slightly inferior to stand-on reach trucks.
