Like a turret truck, a reach trucks is compact, maneuverable forklifts designed to work in narrow aisles and is capable of lifting pallets weighing up to 2,500kgs over 10 metres.

While some models allow a front-facing seating position, the operator usually sits sideways, allowing maximum maneuverability and comfort. Many reach trucks also include features to increase visibility such as a camera so the operator can see what’s happening above their head via a video screen.
