At Jofson, we understand that choosing the right equipment is vital for running efficient, productive, and sustainable warehouse operations. That’s why we proudly supply reach trucks – versatile, high-performance machines that are perfectly suited to the modern warehouse.
Whether you’re looking to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), increase productivity, or make a greener choice for your fleet, reach trucks offer a wide range of advantages. Here’s a closer look at the uses and benefits of reach trucks, and why electric models are a smart investment.
1. Benefits of Electric Reach Trucks
When it comes to managing your warehouse costs, the total cost of ownership is a key consideration. Electric reach trucks are designed with efficiency in mind. Their narrow chassis allows for precise movement through tight aisles, and their high lift capability enables access to vertical storage – increasing uptime and reducing unnecessary movement across the warehouse.
Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) forklifts, electric models run quietly and emit zero exhaust fumes. That means better air quality, reduced noise levels, and a safer, more comfortable environment for your warehouse teams. Quieter equipment also helps reduce workplace fatigue and increases awareness of alarms or co-worker communication.
From a financial standpoint, Li-Ion battery technology offers long-term value. While the upfront cost is higher, the long lifespan and ability to opportunity charge between shifts mean less downtime and reduced maintenance needs. There’s no requirement for a dedicated charging area, and fewer moving parts mean less servicing, ultimately delivering lower running costs and a faster return on investment.
2. Increase Productivity Across Your Operation
One of the core benefits of reach trucks is their ability to optimise warehouse space and speed up handling tasks. Reach trucks include innovative features like Dynamic Cornering Control (DCC), which adjusts speed automatically when turning, protecting both your operators and your inventory.
The ergonomic design of the operator’s cabin, combined with intuitive controls and excellent visibility, allows for comfortable, high-performance operation throughout long shifts. Whether you’re working in narrow aisles, accessing high racking, or navigating around other vehicles and staff, reach trucks are built to keep your operation running smoothly.
With several models available, Jofson can help you select a reach truck that’s matched to your specific environment, load types, and operator needs. Download our brochure to explore the full range of options.
3. Go Green with Electric Reach Trucks
More businesses are shifting to electric reach trucks as part of their sustainability strategies – and for good reason. Li-Ion powered trucks offer zero-emission performance, are up to 30% more energy-efficient than traditional lead-acid systems, and have a significantly longer battery life.
With the UK ban on new petrol and diesel engines arriving in 2030, investing in electric trucks is a future-ready decision. Electric reach trucks also reduce the need for warehouse ventilation systems, cutting energy costs while creating a healthier working environment.
Minimal maintenance, no fuel storage, and consistent performance all contribute to reducing your carbon footprint and lowering your operational overheads.
