Innovative design for short reach distances and double the available space
R14 – R17 X reach trucks have an exceptional design, which significantly increases performance, driving comfort and safety. They are ideal for the efficient handling of loads up to 1.7 tons and a working height of over 11.5 meters in narrow rack aisles. The positioning of the battery under the cabin means that the driver has double the amount of space and the field of vision through the mast has doubled, compared to conventional reach trucks, thanks to a new mast concept. The mast is permanently mounted on the chassis. The reach travel movement is now performed by a special fork carriage. This design ensures extremely stable load handling. The position of the battery means that the center of gravity is very low, which leads to high residual load capacities. The special design with extremely short reach travel movements enables narrower aisles in high rack warehouses.
Safety
The ultra-wide lifting masts on the R14 – R17 X trucks, narrow mast profiles and the proximity of the seat to the mast provide the best possible all-round view. An optional armored glass panoramic roof also provides a clear view of loads above the truck. An automatically engaging parking brake increases safety, for example, when stopping on ramps or gradients. The Linde Curve Assist assistance system supports the driver around bends by proportionally adjusting the speed. Four independent braking systems quickly and safely bring the truck to a stop in every situation. A wide range of additional equipment improves operating safety.
