Keep pace with rising demand
As order activity increases, responsive travel and lift performance help operators complete cycles efficiently and keep product moving.
Narrow aisle reach truck
Help operators do more in narrow aisles
When storage needs grow but floor space does not, Yale® reach trucks help operations move more product through high-density warehouse environments. With the lift height, visibility and operator-focused design needed for indoor applications, they help teams store higher, work confidently in tight aisles and keep daily operations moving.
Built for the realities of high-density warehousing
Reach truck applications put pressure on every part of the operation: storage capacity, travel time, load placement and operator performance.
Features that support operators, applications and uptime
Yale® narrow aisle reach trucks are designed around the operator, with comfort-focused features that can help reduce fatigue and support consistent performance throughout the shift. The adjustable steer tiller, armrest and backrest allow operators to adjust and customize the compartment to their needs, supporting them through the various tasks they perform.
1
Forward Stance with Aft Travel Control Handle and Automotive Steering
Natural steering familiarity in both directions can help shorten training time for new operators and may reduce facility and product damage
2
Operator Sensing System
A pedal-free design allows operators the freedom to comfortably adjust stance and provides a comfortable, more intuitive working environment
3
Yale® Smart Ride Floor
Suspended floor system alleviates up to 60% of shocks and vibrations transmitted to operator to help promote comfort all shift long
4
Multifunction Full-Color Touch-Screen Display
Provides familiar interface to other Yale® trucks, enabling easier operation and service; ties together functionality, diagnostics and programmability

Available configurations help match lift height, capacity and load handling needs to the way your operation stores, stages and moves product.
- Capacity to height – The ability to lift heavier loads to greater heights allows you to truly take advantage of higher-level storage locations
- Double reach capabilities – Easily reach into storage positions that are two pallet loads deep, helping maximize storage density without compromising speed
- Return to center sideshift – Carriage automatically stops at center position, helping boost operator productivity and enable consistent performance
- Return to set tilt – Forks automatically set at predetermined tilt angle enabling consistent load placement, entry and exit positioning
With up to 33% greater visibility through the mast than competitors, operators can see fork tips better when placing loads at ground, first, second and third levels. Improved visibility can help support more accurate placement and reduce the risk of damage to product, racking and equipment.
Service access and reduced maintenance needs help simplify upkeep when attention is required. NR-NDR series reach trucks can reduce overall cost of operation by saving up to $2,500 per truck, per year in scheduled maintenance costs compared to the competition.*
*Calculation based on adhering to OEM recommended maintenance intervals and average $100/hour maintenance labor costs; operating 2,000 hours/year
Operator performance enhancement features
Optional performance features give operators added information and visual guidance during key load handling tasks, helping them work more confidently at height and around racking.
- Fork camera (9.4” mast required)
- Laser level line
- Shelf height selector
- Load weight display

Frequently Asked Questions
A reach truck is a narrow-aisle warehouse forklift built to move pallets into and out of racking. It works best in warehouse operations that need high lift heights, tight turning and efficient use of storage space.
A reach truck is the right choice when a warehouse needs to store pallets high in racking, work in narrow aisles and make better use of available space. It is commonly used in indoor operations with smooth floors and high-density storage.
A reach truck is built for narrow aisles and high racking, while many other warehouse forklifts need more turning space and are better for general material handling. Its forks extend into storage, which helps it place and retrieve pallets at height more efficiently.
A reach truck is ideal for narrow-aisle warehousing because it has a compact design, tight turning capability and the ability to lift pallets high into racking. This helps warehouses create more storage positions without needing wider aisles.
A stand-up reach truck is a reach truck operated from a standing position. Warehouses use stand-up designs because they can support good visibility, efficient maneuvering and quick operator movement during frequent stops.
A pantograph reach mechanism is the scissor-like system that extends and retracts the forks. It supports precise load handling by helping the operator place and retrieve pallets accurately in racking.
A double-reach truck, also called a deep-reach truck, is designed to reach pallets stored farther back in racking. It is built for double-deep storage layouts that help increase pallet density while reducing the number of aisles needed.
The most important specifications usually include lift height, load capacity, reach depth, aisle width requirements and battery performance. These factors help determine whether the truck fits the storage layout and the loads being handled.
Reach truck outriggers are support legs at the base of the truck that help stabilize loads during lifting and travel. They improve load handling by helping the truck stay balanced when working in racking and at height.
Reach trucks support vertical storage by lifting pallets to higher rack positions and working efficiently in narrow aisles. This helps warehouses increase storage density and make better use of available floor space.
Key reach truck safety considerations include proper operator training, clear aisles, stable loads, controlled travel speed and careful handling at height. Operators also need good visibility and enough clearance to work safely around racking and pedestrians.
Visibility and precision at height are supported by clear mast design, well-positioned controls, stable load handling and operator training. These factors help operators place and retrieve pallets more accurately in tall racking.
