Definitely one of the trickiest pieces of equipment you could ever learn to use, but once you get it down they're actually a blast to operate.

I got certified on the reach truck at Home Depot thanks to this vid I passed my certification test. Now I can proudly put it on my resume!

I start Monday y'all!! My first time on a reach truck

I've worked with this machine for over 5 years. 80% of this info is new to. I certified for this machine but wasn't trained at all. I taught myself how to use it as we worked. I followed 70% of your safety rules without even knowing them

Hi, i'm Japanese and work as a forklift operator in an instant-noodles manufacturing factory here in Japan. I'm a foreigner, but let me leave a comment. I 've watched your video because it came up in my recommended. This video is really instructive and your explanation is easy to understand. Thanks to you, I've learned a lot of things in this video, especially how to operate a reach truck in your country. That is because positions of steering wheel and levers for moving forks are completely different from those in Japan.There is no reach trucks here that you can operate while sitting down. Also, in my country, operators don't have to use safety eye protection, but instead Japan's safety rules stipulate that they have to wear a helmet whenever driving a forklift. I've found it interesting to learn differences in ways of operating a machine between your country and ours.Thank you so much for reading my lengthy comment in limited English.

Good to know, I'm moving from one warehouse where i am familiar with Raymond Reach Trucks to another warehouse with Crown machines. Thank you!

I work for Amazon and I was trained on Crown reach truck 6 months ago and I love it! It is fun to be on! Don't let your fear get to you. It will be just like riding a bike after awhile and you will feel like a king because it is the "king" of all warehouse equipment. U got to respect it and it will respect u like the trainer here mentions. Great video! 👍

I am so comfortable with Raymond's reach in my dry warehouse and now I moved to frozen and they only use Crown reach. I have to learn these new to me controls. What the heck ! I knew they were a little different but not this much. Thank you for the education.

Thanks buddy you go into detail which is very important and helpful.

Have driven a Raymond for thirty years. Now I am learning on a crown. The stirring is definitely different and will take getting use to. Great video. Ever grateful

I driving on reachtruck 10 years and I find thos video useful for new people. Thumb up.

I used to work at a place where they had machines like this and I was always amazed. Now, I feel like with a few hours practice, I got this.

I'm certified on all the power equipment at my lowes due to the nature of my job, and the reach truck was definitely intimidating. You can do serious damage with that thing very easily. At least you can hop out of the platform and move obstacles in the aisle easily unlike the order picker lol.

God I miss driving those things. Racking overstock at THD overnight was so much fun

I watched the whole show went took the test and knocked down a whole rack and product went everywhere I still passed great video

I came here to get an idea on how to train people on the reach truck. This is my first week training them. I previously trained them on the order picker and i watched that video and it was very helpful. It got me to the point where everybody i trained was ready to be on their own after 2 days when it usually takes 3 days. They were all beginners as well

I drive a high reach everyday been doing it for three years love it.

I start on Tuesday. Had to watch this so I know what I'm doing

I start today as a first time reach truck driver thanks for the lesson!!!

high reach just took out a fire sprinkler at my job in the freezer .... about 8 hours ago. Now it's ice skating rink.

i started last night 😩 seems sketchy at first but but i’ll get the hang of it. thank you DHL for the opportunity 🤞🏼

"TRULY " ... one of the "BETTER" videos on the Crown Reach Truck. "KUDOS"!

This video is so informative!!! I was scared to use the reach truck before I watched this but now I'm somewhat confident

We have those at Home Depot. They’re so fun to drive

This is actually an informative video. I actually can use the info to help with my reach truck learning... actually. 😂 But seriously, thank you for your tips.

thank you! man! you are well spoken. your instructions are super clear and precise. English is my second language but I can thoroughly understand everything you say. I hope my instructor for tomorrow training is as good as you.

I got trained in this last night and today I’ll be starting my first day actually going out into the racks and using it for real work. Kinda nervous but hey, Im good on order picker forklift so I’m sure I’ll be good on this too, eventually

Them: "You have reach truck experience?" Me: Yep.

They my favorites, just gotta have good musle memories ,coming in everyday

I been driving a reach truck for Walmart for over 33 years it's fun love my job

Finally training on this equipment after 8 years in the industry 🥳❤️ Thanks for this video!

Just did the training today... passed. The instructor was asking if i already knew how to drive the reach truck. Haha, i told him my "experience" came from watching toutube videos

The additional fork option is a heated seat button at my job lmao it saves me so much those freezers be unforgiving

I’m starting training today ! Thanks for the vid

Great and very explicit video. Thanks a lot. 😁

I got certified at age 20. Reaches are cool as fuck. But it’s scary as hell with real consequences

Luxury compared to my D1 Linde, especially those arrows on the side shift! 😂 good guide mate thankyou

Inspection and battery gate is secure on both side. Leaks and hose.. data plate weight. Always charge at all breaks.

I have operated both Raymond and Crown reach trucks. These are no joke. I still operate the Raymond and I am an older guy. The Crown is superior to the Raymond in my opinion from an ergonomic viewpoint. Just concentrate on operating safely. Operate safely guys and gals. It is very easy to lose control of these forklift trucks if you become complacent or worse, cocky. A reach truck can very quickly give you a lesson in humility at the very least if you fall into the aforementioned category. Be safe.

Excellent information given very helpful for lots of lift truck operators in the industry ! 🎉

Excellent instructions!!! Thank you.

Idk why I'm watching this when I'm already certified but good job!

Just started my job at a Autozone DC so excited

Great Video, Im fully learnt now. Thanks man.

03:20 Dashboard and switches. 05:21 Forklift Joystick and Steering control. 06:29 Foot pedals. 07:13 Forklift controls. 08:25 Fork shift and directional arrows. 09:15 Get comfortable with fork controls. 10:52 Moving the Reach truck.

I start my training tonight! Wish me luck!

Thank you very much I'm going to take my class tomorrow afternoon

I really enjoyed your video. very educational. thank you

Good video but if I may add if it’s all about safety you should have them honk before they move twice too go forward 3 times too go backwards just to let Pedestrians know you plan on moving

Crown is the best forfkliftmaker. We love them in germany. I drive the Crown ESR 1000

Nice you have an intercator for position of wheels that's perfect.

What a fantastic instructor

Thank you, Mario!

I drove both crown and Raymond reach trucks for years in a fast paced food warehouse. I miss it but it destroyed my left shoulder.

I just started my new job which includes driving one of these bad boys. My old job I had to drive a sit down forklift.

This guys teaching me more then my actual trainer

I've operated multiple types of these equipment and reach trucks are the least dangerous piece of equipment. It stops better, it's controls and movements are smoother. Your training per your qualifications at this job.

We have the exact same model at work. It’s amazingly quick. Wish I could drive it :(

I learned with crown forklifts but now I work for Mitsubishi and their reach truck are confusing for no reason at all, I miss crown reach truck so much lmao

I have a year experience driving a Jungheinrich electric forklift at Amazon. Tomorrow I have an interview at a higher paying warehouse to operate one of these. This video was helpful, but I'm still really nervous.

Thank you for help giving understanding

I use a newer version with the Monolift, with a significant improvement in forks-forward visibility.

Super helpful thank you!

good demonstration sir for the reach truck.i like the video.full watched here. tc always.

I'm still trying to get around the whole inverted steering. I wish there was a more accurate indicator to every angle like a compass dial. At my place of work, we have to navigate narrow corners and corridors of racks. It's easy to lose your last perceived angle on your wheels causing you to know it by touch and feel. Operating these things slow and steady is the sure way to go.

best video found thank you for your time.

I worked there for three years he's a cold dude.

I miss these crowns. They are so much better than the Raymond "toys" we have now.

I'm starting a new job soon and I think they have Crown equipment, not too happy about that since I've been driving Raymond for years. This is going to be a sharp learning curve with the thumb controls.

He was a Great Training

I’m not operating this equipment, I just want to know how it works. I’m baked, so I’m having a blast, learning how to work it. Lol.

Thank you sir. I am before working . Reach stacker opertor. Maybe neutral difference

Really good teaching

Great information 😎👍👍👍

Thank you man.

Great information thank you brother

Well made, thank you

As amazing as the crown reach trucks are I myself prefer the Raymond reach truck better. You have an actual wheel to use and the controls are all buttons on the drive handle.

Came here to see if they all squeek like that 😂is there an easy fix I could recommend to the sup or is that just a feature of the pedals?

thankyou great teacher

got the job thanks

a portion you gotta peddle back pack center load shiftable

You are Awesomeeeeee

Excellent thanks man

I start Sunday! First time ever on a reach truck..I’m so nervous

Been a lift truck tech for 28 years....HATE CROWNS!!!!

4:22 just a note for me

Muy buen video hoy fue mi primer dia con un montacargas crowns nesecito skills

I've drove the crown d series non reach forks but with regular forks. How much of a difference is there??

Great work

Have to see what company makes the ones at my job, I get Certified on it tomorrow...

Raymond you just need a thumb to go up and down. This machine could hurt the operators shoulder over time.

Muscle memory kicks in and its nothing, second nature almost. I love my job, work at Americold driving the Monolift RMseries in -15°f to -30°f Freezer. These crown trucks are smooth as shit.

Most places say they want you to be safe. But they are on you to make production numbers

That orange lever is to raise the whole seat and backrest, not just flip the seat up. The seat flips up just by pulling the seat up and to put the seat down there is a yellow lever under the center front of the seat you pull out and lift slightly on the seat then let the seat down. Pushing down on the orange lever unlocks the seat and backrest to then raise or lower to operator's desired position. I drive a similar model from crown 12 to 14 hours a day every day for over 5 years now.

I’m glad our reach trucks aren’t inverted.

It's nice bro

Thanks teacher 👍

Amazing primoooo!

I start on the 4th of this month I really can’t wait
