Reach truck driver vacancies

As a reach truck driver, your main job is to move goods with your reach truck. You help with various warehouse tasks such as picking and packing pallets. While doing so, you will of course keep safety in mind and work with enormous precision. A wrong placement can be disastrous.

Whereas with a forklift you go up to a certain height, with a reach truck you go further up to 12 feet! And because a reach truck has only one rear wheel, the turning radius is very small. This contributes to efficient use of space

Reach truck certificate

Difference forklift and reach truck: Forklifts lift up to 4.5 meters, reach trucks can reach up to 12 meters. A reach truck has one rear wheel in the middle, making the turning radius small. Forklifts have two rear wheels for stability.

• The seating position is different. On a forklift, you sit right behind the landing, facing the lifting mechanism. With a reach truck, you sit a quarter turn. So you have a different field of view.
• With a reach truck, you can only drive indoors. Forklifts have pneumatic tires, which is why they can be used outside and on public roads.

Reach truck training

Like forklift controls, for a reach truck job, it is recommended that you take reach truck training. This will help you avoid accidents, know the hazards and how to work safely.

If you have successfully completed the training, you will receive an officially recognized certificate that you must carry with you on the job. Your reach truck certificate is just like a driver's license for a car, but proof that you are authorized to drive a reach truck.

UBN works with a specialized training institute where you can take reach truck classes or refresher classes. Important to know:

• Length of training depends on your knowledge with driving a reach truck. Maximum time is 2 days.
• The reach truck training includes a theory and a practical part.
• The reach truck certificate is valid for 5 years.
• You may drive a reach truck from age 16 with a reach truck certificate and always under supervision. From 18, you may drive a reach truck independently with a reach truck certificate.
