More Productivity in the Warehouse![R14 – R17 X HD Reach Trucks in the High Rack Warehouse R14 – R17 X HD Reach Trucks in the High Rack Warehouse](https://www.linde-mh.com/media/Global-Content/01-Products/06_Reach-Trucks_Schubmaststapler/03_Group_Picture_Gruppenbilder_5/Reach_Truck_X-Range_R14_R17_X_order_picking-4378_123_16x9w320.jpg)
Expensive logistics spaces and increasingly shorter delivery times pose a particular challenge for warehouse operators in retail, third-party logistics and parts logistics. In order to increase the throughput of goods, it is essential to create capacity in the form of narrow racking aisles and higher shelf levels. The reach trucks in the X range from Linde Material Handling feature a unique truck concept making them specially designed for these exact requirements. Their design makes them a particularly productive alternative to conventional reach trucks.
The R14 – R17 X trucks have a particularly compact chassis with a short wheelbase, making them very easy to maneuver around narrow aisles. The wide mast frame and narrow mast profile improve the operator’s field of vision, ensuring that they have a good view of the load and their surroundings at all times. The booster cylinder reduces mast deflection and allows for precise and fast storage and retrieval at high lifting heights. One key advantage of the design lies in the horizontal displacement. In the X range, the movement takes place via the fork carriage rather than the mast. This makes the horizontal displacement 70 percent shorter than with conventional reach trucks. The R14 – R17 X reach trucks therefore offer the ideal solution for warehouse applications that require a fast pace in narrow aisles and at high lifting heights.

A Glimpse into the Tire Warehouse
Two 10,000 m² warehouses, 22,000 pallet spaces and innumerable car wheels: In this sliding storage system in Germany, having a good overall view of the warehouse is essential to ensuring the quick and safe storage and retrieval of wheels and tires. The Linde reach trucks come into their own when it comes to all-round visibility. The optional camera system provides the operator with excellent visibility of what’s above them, allowing them to scan all the pallet spaces via the camera’s monitor. This increases productivity, reduces the number of errors and guarantees safety, even when working with high lifting heights.

Expert Order Picking
While picking goods in the warehouse, drivers have to do a lot of maneuvering, while also carefully navigating the narrow aisles. This is one way in which the specially designed R14 – R17 X reach trucks outperform conventional reach trucks. Thanks to the minimal horizontal displacement and short wheel arms, they offer maximum maneuverability. The excellent all-round visibility offered by the narrow mast profile, combined with minimal mast deflection, ensure a high degree of safety when stacking and retrieving goods.
![The R14 – R17 X Reach Trucks in Block Storage The R14 – R17 X Reach Trucks in Block Storage](https://www.linde-mh.com/media/Global-Content/01-Products/06_Reach-Trucks_Schubmaststapler/01_Products_Produkte_5/Reach_Truck_X-Range_R14_R17_X_Moving-4378_376_16x9w320.jpg)
Efficient Block Storage
When it comes to block storage, space is in short supply. In this environment, the short wheel arms and low horizontal displacement of the X-range reach trucks are extremely helpful. In contrast to more conventional reach trucks, the X range trucks only move using the fork carriage rather than the mast. This makes driving and lifting maneuvers easier and more efficient. In addition, thanks to the low level of mast deflection, pallets can be stacked and retrieved with the utmost precision, even at high lifting heights. The trucks therefore increase performance, capacity and efficiency when handling goods packed on pallets.
The Perfect Model for Every Requirement
The innovative battery positioning under the operator’s workstation makes it possible to use batteries with a higher capacity and longer service life. This means users can choose the right chassis/battery combination for their exact requirements.Compact: The R14 X is designed for use in narrow aisles. The low chassis makes stepping in and out of this truck much easier.

This diagram shows the booster function of the R14 – R17 X reach trucks compared to a mast without booster function.](https://www.linde-mh.com/media/Global-Content/05_Videothumbnails/Unique_mast_concept-x_range-328454706-tn_16x9w320.jpg)
Unique Mast Concept
The mast on the R14 – R17 X reach trucks is designed to meet the exact requirements of high rack warehouses. When working with high lifting heights, normally even minor vibrations cause major oscillations in the fully extended mast. The booster cylinders in the R14 – R17 X reach trucks reduce the mast deflection by up to 40 percent. This allows for vertical storage and retrieval at great height. The wide mast, which is screwed directly into the chassis, is extremely warp-resistant and therefore prevents swinging.

Optimized Visibility
The particularly wide mast frame and the narrow mast profile provide the driver with the best visibility of the load and their surroundings. The optional armored glass roof protects the driver from falling objects and offers an unobstructed view of the load. This not only increases safety but also makes handling even more efficient.

Shorter Horizontal Displacement
The shortened horizontal displacement ensures greater efficiency and productivity. At 170 mm, it is around 70 percent shorter than in conventional masts. This is made possible by the fact that, with the R14 – R17 X reach trucks, it uses just the fork carriage that moves, rather than the whole mast.
![The excellent view from the spacious driver’s cab in the X range Image from the video animation showing the excellent visibility from the operator’s cab of the X range reach truck](https://www.linde-mh.com/media/Global-Content/05_Videothumbnails/Excellent_view-x_range-328454505-tn_16x9w320.jpg)
Ergonomic Work Environment
The positioning of the battery under the seat in the X range allows for an operator’s cab that is twice the size of those in standard trucks. Operators can work without becoming fatigued thanks to the adjustable seats and armrests, a compact steering wheel integrated into the left armrest, as well as joysticks for hydraulic control in the right-hand armrest. In addition, the higher seat position gives the driver better visibility. The height of the display can also be adjusted.

Equipped for all Hazards
At Linde, safety is the top priority. For forklifts intended for use in high rack warehouses, where heavy loads are transported at high lifting heights, extra safety measures are vital. With the R14 – R17 X reach trucks, the wide mast and narrow profile provide the driver with a larger field of vision. The raised seat position also contributes to better visibility. On top of this, the optional armored glass roof protects the driver from falling loads, without obstructing their view. To ensure safe handling on sloped surfaces, an automatic parking brake stops the truck as soon as the driver takes their foot off the pedal. In addition, the hill hold control prevents the truck from rolling away when doing a hill start.
