Reach Truck Training Courses

We provide Reach Truck Driver Training at our Training Centre in Cumbernauld, Glasgow and on-site across Scotland.

The Reach Truck is a warehousing truck that gets its name from the fact that it has a mast that reaches out to pick up a load and retracts it over its wheelbase for travel. It operates on a similar principle to the counterbalance but it doesn’t have a counterweight, it relies on the weight of its battery and its chassis to counterbalance the effect of the load being lifted.


We can offer 4 different Reach Truck Courses:



Our courses are accredited by RTITB, recognised nationally for Reach Truck Forklift Training.


The Reach Truck we use for training is a Linde R14 which is one of  the most common reach truck sizes used in warehousing. It is has a 1400kg lift capacity, is equipped with a  5795mm fixed mast and tilting / side-shifting carriage which combined with our 4½ metre pallet racking and realistically sized UK spec pallets means we can accurately replicate typical warehousing conditions.
