Who is allowed to operate a forklift truck?
How do I get a reach truck operator certification?
What is a heavy-duty forklift? The heavy-duty forklift — also called a large capacity forklift — combines the functionalities of a warehouse forklift with a telehandler. While it can’t reach difficult angles the way a telehandler can, it is capable of lifting heavier loads much higher off the ground than a warehouse forklift. When to Use a Reach Truck? The reach truck is a valuable piece of equipment for many different industries, providing heavy-lifting capabilities to give workers the ability to stock high shelves and maneuver with increased safety. The reach truck can be an economically friendly solution in comparison to other forklifts due to its smaller size and significantly smaller turning radius. To ensure safe operation, a reach truck certification must be obtained by the operator. This can be completed through a reputable institution that offers comprehensive reach truck training courses to familiarize those using these vehicles with the necessary procedures needed for their adequate use. Such courses will cover topics from loading and unloading, to basic maintenance and inspection practices that keep both operators and environment safe.

They tend to have large-diameter wheels for superior ground clearance in contrast to other types of reach lifts.
