How to Choose the Right Reach Carriage?
- Confirm your forklift model and its carriage mounting class
– Check the nameplate to identify the mounting class (e.g., Class 2, Class 3).
This ensures proper compatibility.
- Determine the required stroke (reach extension)
– Consider the maximum forward reach you need.
We offer various stroke options in both single‑scissor and double‑scissor designs.
- Verify the fork mounting class
– The forks that attach to the carriage usually share the same mounting class as the forklift,
but in some cases they may differ. Always confirm this to avoid mismatches.
Why Is Reach Carriage So Important?
The reach carriage is the key to high-density storage. Its main advantages are:
-
Narrow Aisle Operation: It allows forklifts to work in aisles barely wider than the load itself, dramatically increasing storage capacity in a warehouse.
-
Increased Stability: By retracting the load, it makes the forklift much more stable when traveling compared to carrying the load extended.
