Similar to both stand-up CB lift truck and NA straddle truck.
8-10 ft. minimum aisle width requirement.
Load rests on the outrigger arms during transport, but a pantograph (scissors) mechanism is used for reaching, thereby eliminating the need to straddle the load during stacking.
Reaching capability enables the use of shorter outrigger arms (arms > 1/2 load depth) as compared to NA straddle truck (arms = load depth).
Counterbalance of the truck used supports the load when it extends beyond the outrigger arms.

Although the NA reach truck requires slightly wider aisles than a NA straddle truck, its outrigger arms do not enter a rack during storage, thus it does not require arm clearance between loads (arm clearance is still required when the truck enters a storage lane when block stacking or drive-in or when through-racks are used). Extended reaching mechanisms are available to enable double-deep storage.
