Reach Trucks

Reach trucks are built for warehouse racking and tight aisles. If your operation relies on high-bay storage, fast put-away and picking, and clear travel paths between racking, a reach truck is usually the safest and most efficient option. We supply reach trucks to Perth businesses and help choose the right setup based on lift height, aisle fit, battery configuration and how the warehouse actually runs. New units are available, used options may be available, and we can also arrange hire or leasing where that suits the job better than buying outright.

They are a strong fit where storage density matters, aisle space is limited, and the warehouse needs better control and visibility for racking work. In most cases, the decision comes down to a few practical details: aisle width, racking height, pallet weight, floor condition and daily throughput. That is also where most mistakes happen. A reach truck that does not suit the aisle or the floor will slow the whole warehouse down, so we focus on confirming the real fit before you commit.

When is a reach truck the right choice

If you are working with racking, narrow aisles, or you need consistent pick speed at height, a reach truck is usually the right tool. If you need a forklift for mixed tasks, loading docks, or outdoor work, a counterbalance is usually the better fit.

What aisle width do I need for a reach truck?

It depends on the model, load and turning requirements. The practical answer is that we need to confirm your rack-to-rack clearance and turning points. If the site is tight, a quick site check is often the fastest way to avoid a mismatch.

Can reach trucks be used outdoors?

Reach trucks are designed mainly for indoor warehouse floors. Outdoor use is usually limited and depends on surface condition, gradients and exposure. If you need outdoor capability, a counterbalance forklift is often the better option.

Can I hire or lease a reach truck in Perth?

Yes. We can arrange hire and leasing subject to availability and what you need the reach truck to do. This is useful for peak periods, project work, or when you want to confirm the spec before committing long term.

Do you service and repair reach trucks?

Yes. We service and repair reach trucks across Perth metro, including battery and charging issues, controls, mast and lift faults, and wear points that develop under high utilisation.
