About the 1.8T Lithium Reach Truck
The Hangcha 1.8T lithium reach truck is built for high-bay warehousing where heavier palletised loads need to be stored and retrieved at height. With a 1,800kg rated capacity and a standard lift height of 11.0m — extendable to 12.5m with a full free triplex mast — it covers the full vertical range of most modern warehouse racking layouts. The pantograph reach mechanism allows the forks to extend into the rack without repositioning the chassis, making it efficient in narrow aisle configurations where counterbalance forklifts cannot operate safely.
The lithium-ion battery system is what sets this machine apart from lead-acid reach trucks of the same capacity. Opportunity charging during breaks means the machine can run continuously across two or three shifts without a dedicated battery change cycle. With no watering, equalisation charging, or ventilated charging bay required, the running costs and infrastructure demands are substantially lower. For food and beverage distribution centres, logistics operations, and facilities running extended hours, the 1.8T lithium reach truck is a practical choice over both diesel counterbalance and lead-acid electric alternatives.
Key Features
- Lithium-ion battery with opportunity charging — charges rapidly during breaks or shift changeovers, supports multi-shift operation without battery swap and without requiring a dedicated charging room
- Full free triplex mast available to 12,500mm — the standard duplex mast lifts to 3.0m free lift; upgrade to full free triplex mast extends reach to 12.5m with no obstruction to overhead clearance during travel
- Narrow aisle pantograph reach — extending forks allow pallet placement into double-deep racking without repositioning the machine, significantly increasing storage density versus counterbalance operations
- Polyurethane tyres and compact chassis — 1,735mm turning radius and 1,270mm overall width allow operation in standard narrow aisle layouts (typically 2.7–3.0m aisles), with PU tyres suited to smooth concrete warehouse floors
