They allow straightforward pallet retrieval of a pallet that may be 4th or 5th in line and are useful when the shelving units are accessible in more than one direction.
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities and material companies regularly use one or more types of the reach truck. Utilizing a reach truck to stock supplies, pallets of finished commodities, and in general to keep the storage area in order is a regular practice.
