Electric Reach Trucks
Narrow-aisle reach trucks for high-bay warehouses, factory-direct.
Electric reach trucks built for dense, high-bay storage — sourced factory-direct from verified Chinese manufacturers like UN Forklift and Xilin. Compare models or contact us for a full spec sheet and FOB/CIF quote.
An electric reach truck is a battery-powered, narrow-aisle warehouse forklift with a moving (reaching) mast that extends forward to place and retrieve pallets in high-bay racking — typically up to ~11m. Its compact stand-in or sit-down design maximizes storage density in tight aisles where counterbalance forklifts can't operate.
What is an electric reach truck?
An electric reach truck is a class of narrow-aisle warehouse forklift designed for high-density pallet storage. Unlike a counterbalance forklift, the mast and forks reach forward on a pantograph or moving-mast mechanism, so the truck body stays inside a tight aisle while the load extends into the racking.
This design lets distributors and 3PLs store pallets up to roughly 11m high in aisles far narrower than a standard counterbalance unit requires. The trucks run on AC electric drive — quiet, zero-emission, and suited to indoor, multi-shift warehouse operation.
How to choose the right reach truck
Match three things to your warehouse: lift height (your top beam level), aisle width (the truck must turn and reach within it), and residual capacity at full height — capacity drops as the mast extends, so the rated figure at floor level is not what you get at 11m.
Also confirm battery type (lead-acid vs lithium for opportunity charging), mast configuration, and certification needs for your market. We do not publish guessed model dimensions or de-rated capacity curves — contact us and we'll send the verified spec sheet for the exact configuration you need.
Why buy factory-direct through ForkliftIQ
We source whole units directly from verified Chinese factories — including UN Forklift and Xilin — so importers and distributors skip the trading-company markup while keeping documented quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How high can an electric reach truck lift?
Reach trucks in this category are built for high-bay racking up to approximately 11m. Maximum lift height depends on mast configuration, and rated capacity decreases at full height. Contact us for the verified residual-capacity curve for a specific model.
What's the difference between a reach truck and a counterbalance forklift?
A counterbalance forklift uses a rear counterweight and needs wide aisles. A reach truck has a mast that extends forward into the racking, letting the compact body stay in a narrow aisle — far better storage density for high-bay warehouses.
Can I order with my own branding (OEM/ODM)?
Yes. We support OEM and ODM directly with the factories, so distributors can sell under their own brand. Certification (CE, UL, ISO 9001, SGS, TÜV) is matched to your destination market. Contact us to discuss volume and specs.
What are shipping terms and lead time?
We ship FOB or CIF worldwide, with a typical lead time of about 4-6 weeks depending on configuration and order volume. Contact us for a quote with exact terms for your port and destination.
