Reach Truck Class

[@howardlovecraft750]

Definitely one of the trickiest pieces of equipment you could ever learn to use, but once you get it down they're actually a blast to operate.

[@marksinclair2592]

I got certified on the reach truck at Home Depot thanks to this vid I passed my certification test. Now I can proudly put it on my resume!

[@TKommandant]

Is the certification test hard in your Country ? In My Country its like 10 mins.Very Easy

[@weeardguy]

@@TKommandant In the Netherlands, it's about 4 hours for re-certification. Absolute beginners usually get an 8 hour course or even a 2-day 8 hour course.

[@TKommandant]

@@weeardguy wow thats long im in germany and Had like 10 mins

[@weeardguy]

@@TKommandant Yeah, that's Europe for ya ;) I do believe the certification business involves a lot of money in the Netherlands, we could probably do with less training. On the other hand, I've seen beginners who still were incredibly scared to operate the thing after the first 8 hours of training, so it's not always bad to get it thorough.

Hi, i'm Japanese and work as a forklift operator in an instant-noodles manufacturing factory here in Japan. I'm a foreigner, but let me leave a comment. I 've watched your video because it came up in my recommended. This video is really instructive and your explanation is easy to understand. Thanks to you, I've learned a lot of things in this video, especially how to operate a reach truck in your country. That is because positions of steering wheel and levers for moving forks are completely different from those in Japan.There is no reach trucks here that you can operate while sitting down. Also, in my country, operators don't have to use safety eye protection, but instead Japan's safety rules stipulate that they have to wear a helmet whenever driving a forklift. I've found it interesting to learn differences in ways of operating a machine between your country and ours.Thank you so much for reading my lengthy comment in limited English.

I don't understand why the steering is inverted why not just have normal steering it makes no sense and would actually make alot of people feel more comfortable that way.... I drive jungheinrich reach trucks they're sit down ones also and there steering isn't inverted and it's amazing :3

[@danieldaniels7571]

​@@benharpin3089 I operate a regular Jungheinrich forklift and the steering is also inverted.

[@5stargoon665]

​@@benharpin3089If the guy in the video would have done a better job explaining it, it would make sense to you. So essentially the steering is NOT inverted if you are driving it forks first. If you turn your hand to the left, it goes left forks first, right and the truck turns right. When driving truck first instead, the reason it is "inverted" is because you are technically traveling backwards. Logically there is no way for the truck to always move one way without the reverse happening. So if the steering was not "Inverted", when driving forks first right would be left and left would be right

I work for Amazon and I was trained on Crown reach truck 6 months ago and I love it! It is fun to be on! Don't let your fear get to you. It will be just like riding a bike after awhile and you will feel like a king because it is the "king" of all warehouse equipment. U got to respect it and it will respect u like the trainer here mentions. Great video! 👍

You must work for non-inventory because that’s the only place they used it where I worked. In receive dock I operated the stand up non reach version, also order picker and a huge one called a turret that had two batteries. We never operated pit equipment manually in the racks, everything is all guide wires, line up, hit the button and off you go. I had just about every license in my FC except the reach because I never worked in non-inventory.

I'm still trying to get around the whole inverted steering. I wish there was a more accurate indicator to every angle like a compass dial. At my place of work, we have to navigate narrow corners and corridors of racks. It's easy to lose your last perceived angle on your wheels causing you to know it by touch and feel. Operating these things slow and steady is the sure way to go.

I have operated both Raymond and Crown reach trucks. These are no joke. I still operate the Raymond and I am an older guy. The Crown is superior to the Raymond in my opinion from an ergonomic viewpoint. Just concentrate on operating safely. Operate safely guys and gals. It is very easy to lose control of these forklift trucks if you become complacent or worse, cocky. A reach truck can very quickly give you a lesson in humility at the very least if you fall into the aforementioned category. Be safe.

Raymond's in my opinion build better stand up reachers. More practical in the set up. You face straight ahead while operating and not side ways like on a crown. Plus the control handle(a.k.a joy stick) on the Raymond is straight forward and back and not angled toward the steering column like on a crown. Also the buttons (lift up, lift down, side shift, tilt and horn) on a Raymond control handle also are designed to align with with each finger upon a usual grip. I miss the one I use to drive.

[@hakeemsd70m]

I agree, Raymond is definitely ergonomically superior to Crown and much easier to operate. I've been operating Raymond reach trucks for almost a year. I also like how older Raymond trucks have dampened forks that don't slam into the truck when you bring them back in unlike the older Crowns do.

[@kevinsrides2916]

That orange lever is to raise the whole seat and backrest, not just flip the seat up. The seat flips up just by pulling the seat up and to put the seat down there is a yellow lever under the center front of the seat you pull out and lift slightly on the seat then let the seat down. Pushing down on the orange lever unlocks the seat and backrest to then raise or lower to operator's desired position. I drive a similar model from crown 12 to 14 hours a day every day for over 5 years now.

The steering isn't reversed, it's just that you are reversing when you drive power-unit first. When you drive forks first it steers similar to a car.
