I-AM-THOR Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Got my test tomorrow and need some tips. Only had an hour on one and got a few hours in the morning. I just can't get my head around the controls. Everything else is easy. I'm used to the counter balance controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-TT600 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 what do you mean by a reach truck? a HIAB? like a builders merchants flatbed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_stu Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 a reach truck is a type of forklift. Thats the limit of my knowledge ha!I believe its one that the forks point sideways to the direction of travel rather than out in front.Might be totally wrong though!
