Product Description:
Swing reach forklifts, also known as turret trucks, are a great solution if you need a lot of maneuverability in tight spaces. These narrow, compact trucks feature a swing-reach mast that allows the lift operator to turn the forks sideways in order to retrieve or place a load. Once the forks are swung to the side, they can be extended to reach into your storage racking.
When the swing reach forklift has the product on the forks, it can then swing the load back out to the front of the truck and raise and lower the forks like a regular forklift truck. When the load is on the forks, it can be rotated a full 180 degrees.
A big advantage of swing reach and turret trucks is that because they can rotate their forks 180 degrees, they can stock and pick from both sides of an aisle without having to turn the entire forklift around.
Swing reach forklifts and turret trucks come in either operator up (shown) or operator down models for different applications. With a man-up swing-reach truck, the forklift's mast is fixed to the truck body and the driver's cab lifts with the load to allow for order selection. A man-down turret truck is exactly the same except the forklift's operator does not go up and down with the load. Some man down swing-reach forklifts will also only allow for 180 degree movement and cannot place loads directly in front of the forklift.
