How much more could your building hold?

A reach truck needs a narrower aisle than a forklift and lifts higher, so you fit more rows of racking, and more levels in each. Set your building's width and clear height and compare.

30 m
8.0 m

    Pallet spaces for each 27 m of building length. A rough guide, not a layout: it assumes 1000 x 1200 pallets carried crossways, back-to-back racking 2.3 m deep with single runs on the walls, a beam every 1.6 m, and 1.6 m clear above the top beam. Aisle widths and lift heights are from EP's data sheets. Fire rules, columns, doors and sprinklers change the real answer.

    Seated or walk-behind?

    It comes down to how high you stack and how much of the shift is spent doing it.

    Reach truck or forklift?

    A reach truck is the specialist for racking. A forklift does the jobs around it. Many sites run both.

    A reach truck suits

    • Putting pallets into and out of racking all day
    • Narrow aisles, about 2.7 m wide
    • Racking above 6 m
    • Smooth, level indoor floors

    A forklift suits

    • Loading and unloading trailers
    • Ramps and slopes
    • Yards and outdoor work
    • Loads over 1.6 tonnes

    Should I choose a reach truck or a forklift?

    Choose a reach truck if most of the work is putting pallets into and out of racking indoors, especially in narrow aisles or above 6 m. Choose a counterbalance forklift if you also load trailers, work outside or cross ramps and yards. Many sites run both.

    How high can a reach truck lift?

    The seated CQD16 Pro lifts to 9.65 m and the CQD14 Pro to 8 m. The walk-behind CQE models come with a 3 m mast as standard (3.2 m on the CQE15S) and can be ordered with masts up to 5.5 m. The usable height also depends on your racking, roof and lighting.

    What aisle width does a reach truck need?

    With 1000 x 1200 pallets carried crossways, EP's reach trucks need aisles from 2,653 mm on the CQE15S to 2,726 mm on the CQE15R. The seated CQD14 Pro needs 2,701 mm and the CQD16 Pro 2,715 mm. A 3-wheel forklift such as the TVL201 needs 3,315 mm for the same pallet.

    Will a seated reach truck fit through my doors?

    Check the height with the mast lowered: 3,383 mm on the CQD14 Pro and 3,930 mm on the CQD16 Pro, against about 2.1 m on the walk-behind CQE models. Each model page lists it.

    Can a reach truck work outside?

    Reach trucks are built for smooth, level indoor floors, with small wheels and low ground clearance. For yards, ramps and loading trailers outside, an indoor and outdoor forklift is the right truck.

    Can I hire a reach truck instead of buying?

    Yes, on contract hire, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing, repairs and inspections included. We don't do short-term hire.

    Who services and inspects it?

    Our own mobile engineers service and repair EP warehouse trucks across all 32 counties, with genuine EP parts direct from the factory. They also carry out the thorough examination of lifting equipment: GA1 in the Republic, LOLER in Northern Ireland.
