Deep Reach Telescopic Forklift Trucks Make Better Use Of Space
Deep reach telescopic forklift trucks are helping distribution centers to achieve much more economical and high-density use of warehouse space. Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the use of “reach” forklift trucks because rising warehousing costs dictated optimum use of space in both new buildings and additions.
Reach trucks, warehousemen learned, could work in much narrower aisles than conventional counterbalance trucks. Space use could be improved by up to 21 per cent with such equipment.
