» Akuros RD Series Reach Truck

A Precision Electric Reach Truck for High-Bay Warehouse Storage

As warehouse operations move toward higher racking and narrower aisles, material handling equipment must deliver reach precision, vertical stability, and predictable control.

Electric reach truck designed for high-bay racking and narrow aisle warehouses. Precise forward reach, stable lifting, and AC electric drive.

The Akuros RD Series Reach Truck is engineered to support high-bay pallet storage by combining compact chassis design with controlled forward reach, enabling efficient pallet handling in narrow aisle warehouse environments.

Key Specifications Snapshot

Why the RD Series Is Suitable for High-Bay Warehouses

Optimized Reach for Narrow Aisles

The RD Series uses a forward-reaching mast to access pallets placed deep within racking systems. This allows forklifts to operate in narrow aisles while maintaining sufficient load capacity and stability at height.

Stable Vertical Handling

High lift operations demand controlled movement. The RD Series emphasizes smooth mast extension, stable load positioning, and precise hydraulic response, supporting safe stacking and retrieval in tall racking systems.

Electric Drive Tuned for Accuracy

Rather than focusing on speed alone, the RD Series electric drive system is calibrated for predictable acceleration and braking, improving operator confidence when working at height and in confined spaces.

Typical Application Scenarios

The Akuros RD Series Reach Truck is commonly used in:

• High-bay pallet racking warehouses

• Distribution centers with narrow aisle layouts

• Cold or temperature-controlled warehouses (with optional configuration)

• Facilities upgrading from counterbalanced forklifts to reach trucks

• Storage operations prioritizing vertical space utilization

In these scenarios, the RD Series helps maximize usable storage volume without increasing warehouse footprint.

Key Considerations When Selecting a Reach Truck

When choosing a reach truck, buyers should evaluate lift height, aisle width, pallet size, and operator visibility. The RD Series is designed for operations that require consistent high-level pallet handling rather than extreme flexibility across mixed environments.

Practical Suitability Checklist

The RD Series is a suitable choice if your operation requires:

• Efficient pallet handling in narrow aisle warehouses

• High lift capability for tall racking systems

• Electric operation with low noise and zero emissions

• Precise control for repetitive high-level stacking

• A dedicated reach truck for indoor storage applications
