- Reach Truck
- What it is: A specialized narrow-aisle forklift designed for moving and stacking heavy pallets.
- How it works: The operator remains stationed safely inside the ground-level cabin while the outer legs and extending forks reach forward into deep storage racks to load or unload pallets.
