sorry mate, different terminology.
when someone suggests a reach truck i,think big ,like a 75tonne machine.(you cannot really jump of it as i,d break a leg)
a reach forklift has me thinking of something you can stand up in.
now that we all talk about the same type of machine.
the big modern machines have a cutout fitted.(to prevent over reaching&tipping over)
i think this technology could/should also be used on reach forklifts.
regards finn
