RTS


Man-Down VNA


The RTS truck is our solution to the problems created by narrow-aisle design in modern warehouses. Its slim profile and rotating forks allow operators to manoeuvre fully in very tight environments and it’ is the perfect truck when working alongside our high-level order picker range. It enjoys the smallest transfer aisle in the industry – 3.7 m – and is able to lift to a full 10.3 m.
RTS-opt

When used with guided aisle systems – either floor-mounted rails or under-floor wire – operators can concentrate entirely on stacking. Loads can be raised as soon as the truck is in the aisle, and performance gains from the diagonal lift and travel are typically 15-20% faster than free-range trucks.


Optional extras include a storage height pre-selector and a camera monitoring system that further enhances efficiency and visibility, as well as a unique cold-store option that provides the most robust cold-store cabin in the industry, providing complete driver protection and insulation in temperatures down to minus 30C.

TCM Reach Truck FAQs

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q: What is a reach truck?

 

 

 

A: A reach truck, also known as a reach forklift, is a specialised type of forklift designed specifically to navigate narrow aisles and reach heights that are beyond the capabilities of traditional forklifts. This powerful machine is commonly used in warehouses and distribution centres to efficiently stack and retrieve goods from high shelves.Whether it's moving heavy pallets or organising inventory, a reach truck is an indispensable tool for any warehouse operation.

 

 

Q: What is the difference between a reach truck and other forklift types?

 

A: The compact size of a reach truck makes it ideal for operating in confined spaces compared to traditional forklifts, which are typically bulkier. Its mast design is such that it can also reach greater heights, maximising the storage capacity of a warehouse.

 

 

 

 

Q: What is the difference between order picker and reach truck?

 

 

 

A: While both these vehicles are used to retrieve items from high shelves, there are some key differences between them. The order picker is designed to allow the operator to elevate themselves along with the load, making it easier to pick and place items at various heights. On the other hand, the reach truck is built to extend its forks forward and reach deep into the racking system, allowing it to access objects that are further away. Another notable difference is the manoeuvrability of these vehicles. Order pickers are typically more compact and agile, making them ideal for narrow aisles and tight spaces. While reach trucks are narrower and more agile than standard forklifts, they have a longer wheelbase than order pickers, making them better suited for larger warehouses with wider aisles.

 

Q: Why use a reach truck?

 

A: Reach trucks’ extended reach means warehouse operators can store and access pallets deep within the racking system, eliminating the need for manual handling or the use of ladders. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of accidents and injuries. Reach trucks are generally equipped with advanced technology such as telescopic forks and height sensors, ensuring precise positioning and optimal load handling. Their compact size and manoeuvrability make them ideal for narrow aisles and tight spaces, increasing productivity and maximising storage capacity. Whether it's in a busy warehouse or a bustling distribution centre, reach trucks enhance efficiency and safety in material handling operations.

 

 

 

Q: What are the benefits of buying a TCM reach truck?

 

 

 

A: On top of the many benefits of using a reach truck described above, the TCM range has been developed with performance and ergonomics at its core. As a result, our reach trucks offer industry-leading operator comfort and safety, and reliability in the form of trucks that require little maintenance, putting greater productivity and efficiency within your reach.

 

Reach out for a practical, comfortable warehouse solution

 

In the world of material handling, operator safety, comfort, and efficiency are essential in order to maintain a productive, error-free environment that works to lower your TCO and improve uptime. Everything from the ergonomic design to the intuitive features make the TCM reach truck series a sustainable investment, both environmentally and in terms of lifetime value.
