1. The counterweight forklift is equipped with a lifting fork in front of the body and a counterweight at the rear, and the whole vehicle relies on the rear to maintain its balance; while the reach forklift relies on the front and rear movement of the gantry or fork frame to maintain its balance;
2. When the counterbalanced forklift is loading, the center of the goods can be far away from the supporting surface of the forklift;
3. Reach forklifts have the common characteristics of counterweight forklifts and electric stackers. When the gantry extends to the front end, the center of gravity falls on the outside of the pointing point, which is equivalent to a counterbalanced forklift; when the gantry is fully retracted Then, the center of gravity falls on the inside of the fulcrum, which is equivalent to an electric stacker.
4. The disadvantage of the counterbalanced forklift is that it occupies a large area and requires a large working space. The minimum right-angle passage distance of the three-pivot counterbalanced forklift under the same tonnage is generally 3.3-3.6m, and the four-pivot counterbalanced forklift is about 4.2m;
5. The self-weight and working space requirements of the reach forklift are relatively small, and the minimum right-angle channel distance is generally about 2.6-3.2m under the same tonnage;
6. Compared with the counterbalanced forklift, the reach forklift has an important advantage in that its rated load decreases slowly with the increase of the fork height;
