Seated Reach Trucks in High-Rack Warehouse Operations

High-rack warehouses have become a widely adopted layout for modern logistics and manufacturing storage scenarios, as they effectively expand storage capacity without occupying extra land area. Most high-rack warehouses are designed with shelf height ranging from 8 meters to 16 meters, and the reserved working channel between shelves is usually quite narrow to maximize the arrangement of storage positions. In such working conditions, ordinary counterbalance forklifts can hardly meet the dual requirements of narrow channel passing and high-lift safe operation, making seated reach trucks the most suitable core handling equipment for this scenario.

Different from other types of industrial handling vehicles, the main feature of seated reach trucks is that their mast can move forward independently during picking and placing operations. When the vehicle travels, the mast retracts within the range of the vehicle body, so the overall turning radius is greatly reduced, and the minimum required working channel width can be controlled within 2.8 meters. This performance allows the warehouse to arrange more sets of shelves in the same limited area, increasing the total storage position by 15% to 20% under normal conditions. For daily operation management, relevant practitioners need to arrange special standardized training for operators, require them to check the braking system, lifting chain and telescopic mast structure before each shift, and keep the driving speed below 3km per hour when the mast is raised to a height of more than 6 meters to avoid cargo shaking and accidental falling.
