As part of our extensive range of forklift trucks and lifting equipment, Radnes Services is able to offer top quality reach trucks for sale and for hire. Reach trucks are perfect for warehousing and stock management, allowing you to pick, lift and stack goods safely without risking the safety of your workers. If you are searching for new or used forklifts to buy or to hire, get in touch with our team today. Based in Croydon, we supply forklifts and lifting equipment across Surrey, Kent, London and the wider South East area.
Standard forklifts have front forks. They can lift heavy loads into the air, but they have a limited reach. They are best suited to stacking and moving pallets of goods. Reach trucks, on the other hand, have extendable forks that can lift and place goods directly onto warehouse shelves and racks. The reach forks can be controlled directly from the truck’s cab, they make it simple and easy to store heavy and bulky items safely.
Reach trucks are designed with a narrow body, so they can slip between warehouse aisles and turn to face the shelves. They usually have four wheels for added stability, as three-wheel trucks are more prone to tipping. There are many different types of reach truck to choose from, including battery-powered and diesel engine trucks. Reach trucks can lift weights between 1 ton and 2.5 ton, to heights of up to 11m.
Reach trucks are designed to complement racking systems, and at Radnes Services we can supply racking solutions along with reach trucks and lifting equipment. We work with racking designers who can create practical, viable storage systems for commercial and industrial premises. We understand that space is at a premium in a work environment, and we know the importance of safety as well.
With a wide range of reach trucks for hire and reach trucks for sale, you can be sure we have the right vehicle for your needs.
Reach trucks are a cost-effective, safe way to enable warehouse operatives to work quickly. In conjunction with racking systems, the trucks ensure that goods are stored securely off the ground and are easily accessed for picking and packing.
All new trucks are sold under the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty, we place our own guarantee on all used equipment we sell. To keep your reach trucks in full working order, we can arrange regular service and maintenance visits at your commercial premises.
