Four-Way Directional Reach Truck
A powerful multi-directional reach truck
The RTF offers flexible handling of long and bulky goods or pallet loads. With superior ergonomics and comfort, the RTF multi-directional reach truck can be driven in all directions with precision, with a lifting height of up to 9.7 m and an aisle width that can be cut to 2.3 – 3 metres.
The reach truck’s top speed is 13 km/h and with high battery capacity and superior acceleration, the truck can be driven intensively with maximum efficiency. Excellent, all-around visibility is key when manoeuvring around the aisles of a busy warehouse. The RTF provides the operator with enhanced visibility via the ProVision design with an angled frame in the overhead guard, a clear-view mast and a high seating position. 
Similar to its reach truck counterparts, the RTF features the unique TCM mini steering wheel and an 18° adjustable tilting seat that minimises strain during long shifts, with a spacious cabin designed entirely around the operator.
The hands-free direction control uses the accelerator for change of travel direction allowing the operator to use the right hand for operating up to three hydraulic functions simultaneously.

Man-Down VNA
A highly manoeuvrable reach truck
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.
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.
