When a four-way reach truck makes the difference.
Many companies that work with long materials – aluminium profiles, tubes, wood, steel – sooner or later encounter the same limitation: space.
Traditional solutions like a counterbalance forklift or a classic reach truck require relatively wide aisles. This means:
Less efficient use of the warehouse
But what if you could use the same hall 25% to even 50% more efficiently?
A four-way reach truck – also called a multi-directional truck – can drive not only forward and backward, but also sideways. This allows long loads to be maneuvered in much narrower aisles.
The HELI CQD four-way reach truck is specifically designed for applications where long goods and narrow aisles meet.
Typical features:
Thanks to sideways driving, the aisle can be designed significantly narrower than with conventional solutions.
With four-way reach trucks, there is a technical difference between a 3-wheel and a 4-wheel version.
The 4-wheel version generally offers more stability, especially on less even or older concrete floors. In warehouses where the floor isn't completely level, this can be a significant advantage in terms of driving comfort, safety, and precision when lifting at greater heights.
For applications on a perfectly finished floor, a 3-wheel version can be more manoeuvrable.
The right choice therefore depends not only on capacity or lifting height, but also on the surface on which work is carried out daily.
A four-way reach truck is particularly interesting when:
In such situations, a reanalysis of the warehouse layout can often yield more than expected.
In places where you can invest in a new building, you can use it efficiently.
To fit a smaller hallway:
A four-way reach truck is not a standard solution, but in the right context it is a very well-considered investment.
