An electric reach forklift is a type of material handling equipment designed to operate in narrow aisles, typically in warehouses. It uses electric power to drive motors for lifting, lowering, and moving the forklift. The key feature is its "reach" function, where the forks can extend forward to pick up loads, allowing the machine to place or retrieve items from higher shelves without moving the entire forklift. It operates with precise control, using a mast and lift mechanism, and is powered by rechargeable batteries, making it more environmentally friendly compared to internal combustion forklifts.
