Reach Trucks. In our endeavour to create products specifically for Indian
conditions, with the new PRO Series Reach Truck we now offer the highest load
lifting capacity in the industry of 1100 kg at 10.6 m height. While developing this
new product, we have been very mindful of Indian anthropological data,
operating conditions in warehouses, the rising need for safe, fast and reliable
machines which conserve energy. We foresee this new series will contribute to
improving material handling efficiency in 3PL, Ecommerce, Retail, Pharma,
Chemical, and Food & Beverage sectors across the country. Given the vast
geographical spread of our customers, especially across Tier 2 and 3 cities,
and with most large warehouses being on the outskirts of cities, we have
established an extensive customer service network across India and are
confident that we can effectively satisfy all their service requirements.”
