Akuros RD15 Double Deep Reach Truck for High-Density Warehouse Storage
Quick Summary
The Akuros RD15 dubbel diep bereikheftruck is engineered for warehouses that need to increase pallet storage density while maintaining manual forklift access. In many facilities, standard selective racking provides excellent accessibility, but it uses more aisle space. Double-deep racking reduces aisle count by storing pallets two positions deep, but it requires a reach truck capable of safely accessing the second pallet position.
The RD15 is designed for this application. With a forward reach mechanism, compact chassis, stable lifting structure, and controlled electric performance, it allows operators to place and retrieve pallets in double-deep racking systems more efficiently.
For complete warehouse planning, the RD15 can be matched with Akuros dubbel-diepe rekoplossingen, reach truck solutions, heftruckoplossingen, heavy-duty racking systems, oplossingen voor heftruckbatterijen, warehouse tools solutionsen warehouse solution planning.

Designed for Double-Deep Pallet Storage
The RD15 is designed around one core warehouse challenge: how to store more pallets in the same building without losing too much operational flexibility.
Double-deep racking places two pallets in depth. This increases storage density compared with selective racking, but the rear pallet cannot be reached by standard forklifts. A double deep reach truck solves this by extending the forks forward to access the rear pallet position.
For warehouses with moderate SKU variety and predictable pallet rotation, the RD15 can provide a practical balance between storage density, equipment cost, and operational simplicity.
Key Features of Akuros RD15 Double Deep Reach Truck
1. Forward Reach for Double-Deep Racking
The RD15 uses a forward reach mechanism to access pallets stored in the second depth position. This allows the forklift to work with double-deep racking systems where pallets are stored two positions deep.
This function is especially valuable for:
- High-density pallet warehouses
- Cold storage facilities where space is expensive
- Distribution centers with predictable stock rotation
- Manufacturing warehouses storing batch inventory
- Facilities upgrading from selective racking to double-deep storage
2. 1,500 kg Rated Capacity for Practical Pallet Handling
The RD15 is designed around a 1,500 kg capacity class, depending on configuration, load center, lifting height, and reach position. This makes it suitable for many standard warehouse pallets and medium-duty double-deep storage applications.
For double-deep operation, buyers should always confirm residual capacity at the required lift height and reach distance. Capacity at height is more important than nominal rated capacity alone.
3. Lift Height up to Approx. 6,000 mm
The RD15 can support lifting heights up to approximately 6,000 mm depending on mast configuration. This makes it suitable for medium-height double-deep racking layouts commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and cold-chain facilities.
Before final selection, rack beam height, pallet height, load weight, and top-level placement requirements should be reviewed together.
4. Compact Chassis for Narrow Aisle Operation
The RD15 is designed with a compact chassis to support narrow aisle operation. In double-deep racking layouts, aisle width is a critical factor because the warehouse gains storage density partly by reducing traffic lane space.
The actual aisle requirement depends on pallet size, load orientation, rack design, turning space, operator workflow, and safety clearance. Akuros can help review aisle width and layout compatibility during project planning.
5. Electric AC Drive System
The RD15 uses an electric AC drive system designed for smooth acceleration, controlled braking, and reliable warehouse operation. AC drive technology supports precise movement, lower maintenance, and efficient energy use in repetitive storage and retrieval tasks.
For high-density storage, smooth control is important because operators often work close to racks, pallets, and building structures.
6. Stable Mast and High-Strength Structure
Double-deep storage requires stable lifting and accurate positioning. The RD15 uses a robust mast and reinforced truck structure to support safe pallet handling at height.
When handling pallets in the rear position, stability and residual capacity become especially important. Buyers should match truck configuration to pallet weight, lift height, load center, and rack depth.
7. Ergonomic Operator Design
Operator comfort affects productivity in high-density warehouse operations. The RD15 is designed with a comfortable operator station, intuitive controls, wide-view mast design, and clear operating visibility.
Better visibility helps reduce pallet impact, rack collision, and positioning errors during high-level storage and retrieval.
8. Safety-Oriented Control Features
Depending on final configuration, the RD15 can include safety functions such as automatic deceleration, adaptive load monitoring, controlled braking, and stable travel control.
These features help operators work more confidently in narrow aisles and double-deep racking environments.

When Is a Double Deep Reach Truck the Right Choice?
A double deep reach truck is most suitable when a warehouse needs more storage density than selective racking but does not require full automation or VNA operation.
The RD15 is a suitable option if your operation has:
- Moderate SKU variety
- Predictable pallet rotation
- Batch-based inventory
- Enough pallet consistency for double-deep storage
- Need to increase pallet positions without expanding the building
- Indoor warehouse or cold storage operation
- Operators trained for reach truck operation
Cold Storage Application Considerations
Double-deep storage is often attractive in cold storage because every square meter of refrigerated space is expensive. By reducing aisle count and increasing pallet positions, double-deep racking can improve cold room storage utilization.
However, cold storage operation requires additional review because low temperature affects battery performance, hydraulic response, condensation, operator comfort, traction, and maintenance.
Cold storage buyers should confirm:
- Operating temperature range
- Whether the truck works in chilled rooms, freezer rooms, or both
- Pallet weight and load center in low-temperature operation
- Battery performance and charging strategy
- Hydraulic oil and seal suitability
- Floor condition, including wet or icy surfaces
- Required lift height and residual capacity
- Rack design, bottom beam clearance, and reach mechanism compatibility
What Buyers Should Consider Before Choosing the RD15
Choosing a dubbel diep bereikheftruck is not only about rated capacity or lift height. The truck must match the racking system, pallet size, load weight, aisle width, reach distance, floor condition, and inventory flow.
Before requesting a quotation, we recommend confirming:
- Pallet size and load orientation
- Maximum pallet weight and average pallet weight
- Load center
- Required lift height
- Rack beam height and storage levels
- Double-deep rack depth
- Required reach distance
- Aisle width
- Floor flatness and floor condition
- Operating temperature and warehouse environment
- Battery preference and charging window
- Inventory rotation logic and SKU variety
- Whether the rear pallet position must be accessed frequently
Common Buyer Mistakes When Choosing Double Deep Reach Trucks
- Choosing only by rated capacity without checking residual capacity at height
- Ignoring reach distance required for the second pallet position
- Not matching pallet size and rack depth correctly
- Ignoring load center changes in double-deep operation
- Not checking aisle width with actual pallet orientation
- Using double-deep storage for inventory that requires full direct pallet access
- Ignoring floor flatness and stability requirements
- Not reviewing cold storage battery and hydraulic performance
- Planning racking and forklift separately instead of as one system
