Double Deep Reach Truck Forklifts

Double deep reach trucks are like single-reach trucks but have double extended reach allowing the operator to reach deeper into racking.

Reach trucks are special types of forklifts often found in narrow aisle warehouses. They’re designed with two outer legs for stability and a single set of wheels at the back. These wheels, positioned under the operator, allow for tighter turns, making it easier to move around in small spaces while still reaching high shelves.

In warehouses where space is limited, increasing aisle height while narrowing them down can be a solution, but it also brings its own set of challenges for maneuvering and handling materials.

That’s where Total Warehouse’s Reach Trucks come in handy. They’re essential additions to any warehouse fleet, allowing operators to effortlessly navigate through narrow aisles and reach impressive heights without sacrificing lifting capacity. With Total Warehouse’s Reach Trucks, you can confidently navigate even the trickiest warehouse environments.

Maximizing Storage Per Square Feet

Are you looking to optimize your warehouse storage space? Double reach trucks might be the solution you need. These specialized vehicles can increase pallet racking storage capacity by up to 50%. However, it’s essential to assess whether they are the right fit for your specific application.

Considerations for Double Reach Trucks:

Number of SKUs: While double deep storage can significantly boost capacity, it may reduce selectivity as the forklift operator can only access the second pallet once the front one is removed. This setup works best for storing pallets with the same SKU to minimize handling complexities. Additionally, assess whether it’s feasible for the second pallet to remain in storage for an extended period, especially for perishable goods.

Common Applications: Double reach trucks find wide usage across various industries, including factories, food processing facilities, and general warehousing. They are particularly suited for environments requiring efficient storage solutions, such as cold storage facilities and warehouses with high-density pallet racking systems.

 

Choosing the best Reach Truck

When choosing a reach truck for your operation, it’s essential to consider specific factors tailored to your needs. Here are key considerations influencing this decision:

Load Capacity: Avoid equipment damage and ensure safety by selecting a reach truck with an appropriate load capacity.

Lift Height: Assess the reach truck’s lift height to match your warehouse design and stacking requirements effectively.

Fuel Type: Determine the fuel type based on factors such as availability and cost, whether electric, diesel, or gas, to meet your operational demands efficiently.
