Reach Truck
The forks come to the rack — high pallets, narrow aisles, planted chassis · CPDR15 / CPDR20 electric reach trucks, 1.5–2 t
A reach truck stacks where wider trucks cannot: the mast slides forward to place the pallet, then pulls back over the chassis for travel, so the aisle only needs to fit the machine — not the machine plus a swinging counterweight. Our CPDR15 and CPDR20 electric reach trucks carry 1,500 kg and 2,000 kg on a 48 V system, lift to 4,000 mm on a duplex mast, and weigh in around 2,000 kg so the chassis stays planted under a high load. Joystick hydraulics and a stand-behind operator position keep cycles quick. Built in Shandong; CE marked with an 18-month warranty.

Where it works
How a reach truck works the aisle
Watch the gallery photos in sequence and the mechanism explains itself: the mast and fork carriage ride forward on the support arms to deposit the pallet, then retract so the load travels back inside the wheelbase. The truck never has to drive its body under the rack, which is what lets it live in aisles a counterbalanced machine cannot turn in.
Stability comes from geometry rather than a huge counterweight alone — the load sits over the support arms during travel, and the roughly 2,000 kg chassis does the rest at height. The 6–12° mast tilt keeps the pallet nosed back against the carriage while the forks are loaded.
Reach truck vs forklift: different jobs, not rivals
The honest comparison: a counterbalanced truck is the generalist — yards, docks, trailers, rough surfaces — while the electric reach truck is the racking specialist that trades outdoor ability for aisle width and lift height economics. If your pallets live above 3 m in dense racking, the reach truck stores the same stock in noticeably less floor area.
Most warehouses past a certain size end up with both: something counterbalanced at the dock, a reach truck in the aisles. What you should not do is buy a wide-aisle machine and then design racking around its turning circle — rack layout is cheaper to fix on paper than in steel.
Send us the rack drawing with beam heights and aisle widths and we will confirm whether CPDR15 or CPDR20 fits, including the residual capacity at your top beam — the number that actually matters, not the headline rating.
CPDR hardware and the buying process
Both models run 48 V with a choice of lead-acid or lithium pack, joystick hydraulic control and a stand-behind operator station — the joystick cluster is visible in the gallery close-up, alongside the 2,000 kg capacity marking on the production unit. Lift heights run 1,600 to 4,000 mm on the duplex mast.
Each truck export-packs at 175 × 112 × 215 cm and roughly 2,000 kg gross, so mixed containers with our electric stackers and hand pallet trucks load cleanly. For long-run put-away at lower heights, the ride-on stacker on this site is the cheaper machine — we will point you there when the rack plan says so.
Common questions
What is the difference between a reach truck and a forklift?
A conventional counterbalanced machine carries the load ahead of the front axle and needs wide aisles to turn. A reach truck slides the mast forward to place the pallet, then retracts the load over its own wheelbase — so it works narrower aisles and taller racking, but belongs on smooth indoor floors rather than yards.
How high can the CPDR electric reach truck lift?
Duplex masts on the CPDR15/20 run from 1,600 up to 4,000 mm. Capacity falls as the mast extends, so quote requests should include your top beam height and heaviest pallet — we answer with the residual capacity at that height, which is the figure your racking plan actually needs.
What aisle width does a reach truck need?
Less than a counterbalanced truck, because the load retracts over the wheelbase before the truck turns. The exact figure depends on pallet size and approach geometry rather than one number, so send the rack layout and pallet spec with your inquiry and we return the working-aisle calculation for the CPDR.
Can a reach truck work outdoors or inside containers?
It is built for smooth warehouse floors; our yard photos show test runs, not its working habitat. Container stuffing and dock-to-staging moves are better served by a hand pallet truck or electric stacker, then the reach truck handles put-away from staging into the racking.
What battery options does the CPDR15/20 take?
48 V packs in lead-acid or lithium. Lead-acid suits single-shift sites with overnight charging discipline; lithium takes opportunity charging at breaks and needs no watering, which usually wins for multi-shift or cold-storage work. Either chemistry ships installed, with charger matched to your supply voltage.
