The machine also features better visibility and a lower collapsed mast height.

Designed to be ergonomic and safe to operate, the reach truck is dubbed the R300 and includes a multitude of ranges including the R314, R316, R318, R320 and R325.

All models offer high capacity and are designed to move the heaviest loads at higher lift speeds and faster lifting and lowering. The trucks include a maximum lift height of 13 meters on the R318, R320, and R325, a choice of 180° and 360° steering and a fork position laser.

A height-adjustable floor plate offers enhanced ergonomics that permits the truck to adjust to each operator’s needs.

The R300 range has a strong modular design that includes an open fork carriage with a large window for improved forward vision, even when the fork carriage is at operator eye level. A lower closed mast height allows the trucks to operate even in tighter spaces. The Cesab R300 range also offers an optional transparent overhead guard made from 2 x 8mm laminated hardened glass to give operators better overhead visibility without sacrificing protection. An LED floor warning light in a choice of red or blue in either drive direction is also available as an option.

The R300 models also include a new softer chassis that provides a smoother ride and a new improved seat with textile cushioning and a reinforced left corner that helps reduce wear when the driver slides off the seat when existing the vehicle. Operators need not lift their feet while driving due to an improved accelerator pedal design.

A fast change battery option is available for a more efficient operation and minimal downtime.

The R314 has a rated capacity of 1400 kg. It has a maximum lift height of 9000 mm, and a speed travel with or without load of 11/11 km/h.

The R316 has a rated capacity of 1600 kg, a maximum lift height of 10,500 mm, and a travel speed with or without load of 10/11 km/h.

The 318 has a rated capacity of 1800 kg, a maximum lift height of 11,000 mm and a travel speed with or without load of 11/11 km/h.

The 320 has a rated capacity of 2,000 kg, a maximum lift height of 12,500 mm, and travel speed with or without load of 11/11km/h.

The R325 has a rated capacity of 2,500 kg, maximum lift height of 12,500 mm, and a travel speed with or without load of 11/11 km/h.
