d. Truck, reach, narrow-aisle. The reach narrow-

aisle truck normally has a maximum height of 238

inches, a 40 or 42-inch long fork, urethane tires in the

front, and rubber tires in the back. It has a 2,000 to

4,000-pound capacity range and a turning radius of 61

to 85 inches depending upon the model. This truck can

operate in 68 to 72-inch aisles as opposed to a

counterbalanced truck which operates in a 10-foot aisle.

It can make turns in closer quarters because the pallet

can be retracted to a position within the wheelbase. It is

used in narrow-aisle rack storage operations in high

density warehouses and distribution centers. This reach

truck has a fork extension capability which allows

positioning the pallets in racks or on the floor (fig 4-14).
