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.
This video was more informative than my certification test. I needed to see how to work controls more than anything. Thanks, now I feel more confident in driving.
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 don't understand why the steering is inverted why not just have normal steering it makes no sense and would actually make alot of people feel more comfortable that way.... I drive jungheinrich reach trucks they're sit down ones also and there steering isn't inverted and it's amazing :3
@@benharpin3089If the guy in the video would have done a better job explaining it, it would make sense to you. So essentially the steering is NOT inverted if you are driving it forks first. If you turn your hand to the left, it goes left forks first, right and the truck turns right. When driving truck first instead, the reason it is "inverted" is because you are technically traveling backwards. Logically there is no way for the truck to always move one way without the reverse happening. So if the steering was not "Inverted", when driving forks first right would be left and left would be right
Who else never knew how to operate ANY forklift let alone a Crown reach but now has a job because of watching this!🙋🏽♂️🫡TY!! Oh and it’s 4 years later
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! 👍
You must work for non-inventory because that’s the only place they used it where I worked. In receive dock I operated the stand up non reach version, also order picker and a huge one called a turret that had two batteries. We never operated pit equipment manually in the racks, everything is all guide wires, line up, hit the button and off you go. I had just about every license in my FC except the reach because I never worked in non-inventory.
@@mrsantana9094 I work outbound and not only do I do non-inventory but HOV and team lift which is the basic pallet picking off the racks on reach truck. I am also on the order picker. We have VNA'S (Very Narrow Aisles) that take up about a quarter of the building and they are self guided. You must of been working in a different sort Amazon building that was nothing but VNA'S because I heard at one time Amazon was thinking about all VNA'S in most buildings.. That is interesting.
@@tonyc4269 I really enjoy driving the reach too. Where I work people see the triple as the “king” but that’s mostly because we use it for a non prod function meaning they don’t track your numbers.
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.
I was working on EPJ and my building is shutting down. They offered me a reach truck position at another location. I feel more confident using this equipment after watching this video thank you!
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'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.
If you play videogames you’ll grasp the concept in seconds. It took me literally no more than 5 minutes to get used to the configuration in the steering and what levers / buttons do what. Pretty simple once you get the jist of it. Good luck bro 👍🏽
@@spooxbeatz805 I swear to God I’ve always described reach/turret etc as just a real life video game lmao. The first time I used one they thought I was lying when I said I had no experience.
A few months is more realistic. I just started operating a Raymond reach truck about 4 weeks ago, and I'm still very much a rookie, making rookie mistakes like not using pivot points to get into racks. However, I'm getting better.
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
@@egorxeke3465 I still have the job but I lost my forklift permissions about a month ago because I broke a safety rule lol I put a pallet on a rack and started driving away before the forks were fully on the ground and the main safty lady seen me. Everyone does it though because we have 20 pallets per hour rate we have to hit, most just don’t get caught. But yeah I’m supposed to get my license back this month so it’s all good
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
It's a matter of time and experience. U get to a point of "feel" level of experience that's when u can take those corners easily. I used to do it on cocaine and tequila 😂 not one accident ever. I took my time learning at first.
@@leeknievel748 any drug testing they'd lose 75% of the employees. My lead was a 21 yr old kid supplying the weed, I was supplying to white both to supervisors and employees. If you think that's crazy we used to talk about who was getting the newest girl when we both liked a pretty one and we used to fxck em on the picking isles. 3 levels east and west and everyone would go home at 11:00 pm so it was just few of us left with couple girls who wanted over time. It was fun pretty chill we used to drink off tiny liquor bottles and get the girls coked up too 😂. I heard Amazon has alot going on but I doubt it's anything other than sex.restrooms were cocaine rooms and everyone knew. I'm over all that. I got legit money and sobriety now but I don't regret anything. You learn alot walking thru hell , especially how these deceitful bitches play dummies. You learn the game so u can play to win.
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.
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.
Man, I just can’t seem to get the hang of it. I have to drive this at my job and I drove this for the first time 2 days ago thinking I could easily adjust, since I drove the crown sit-down reach truck for 2 years without much problems. Then again, I haven’t done any warehouse work for at least 2 years.. Just not use to having to use a joystick just to move it, as well as to use all the lift controls. The sit-down has button controls to raise forks, tilt forks, extend mast, etc. They’re paying me good money though, so I must get it down..
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
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
For all of those that are about to start or have just started using the RM… It is indeed absolutely terrifying but your pounding heart & cold sweats will pass away pretty quickly. PAs your mortal fear passes, please for the love of your life and others around you, remember that the lifts are life-enders. Respect the lift, don’t get “comfortable” & DON’T BLOW THRU THE STOPS. 😅
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.
I drive sit-down counter balance high reach, this seems like a bit much. could have normal controls with a forth lever for in out, and I get to sit down
@@TheCommanderDash These are designed for narrow aisled warehouses. This is usually warehouses that have order selection occurring from both sides of the aisle and it is in attempt to maximize space. Typically warehouses that use reach trucks are a little more fast paced as well, these are designed with that in mind as well.
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.
Raymond's in my opinion build better stand up reachers. More practical in the set up. You face straight ahead while operating and not side ways like on a crown. Plus the control handle(a.k.a joy stick) on the Raymond is straight forward and back and not angled toward the steering column like on a crown. Also the buttons (lift up, lift down, side shift, tilt and horn) on a Raymond control handle also are designed to align with with each finger upon a usual grip. I miss the one I use to drive.
I agree, Raymond is definitely ergonomically superior to Crown and much easier to operate. I've been operating Raymond reach trucks for almost a year. I also like how older Raymond trucks have dampened forks that don't slam into the truck when you bring them back in unlike the older Crowns do.
Hey I operate crown rt and if u want to operate stand up then there a handle under the seat just pull it and sear go down u didn't have to use the lever on the side
Yooo wdf i been driving reach truck for over 2 years now i never knew i could sit down on resch truck my reach trucks dont have that lever switch thingy lol
I've been driving a toyota reach truck for about 7 years now, about 4 years in the company I work for got in a crown to test and I couldn't stand the controls.. the crown made me frown
Man, you are wrong! I drive these Crown reach trucks every day, and are fast, and simple to operate! The RC series is easy too! The Raymond lift trucks are some of the best, but are more expensive than the Crown series.
@@ronaldgreen5292 in not wrong its my opinion. Toyota trucks make more sense to me, you push the lever forward it goes forward, pull back it goes backwards, up on your thumb it lifts, down the forks go down.. crown was very odd for me and I felt like I had less control..I did get more comfortable after a week of using it but that's just my opinion on what I'm use to.
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 start on the 4th of this month I really can’t wait
We have the exact same model at work. It’s amazingly quick. Wish I could drive it :(
Raymond's in my opinion build better stand up reachers. More practical in the set up. You face straight ahead while operating and not side ways like on a crown. Plus the control handle(a.k.a joy stick) on the Raymond is straight forward and back and not angled toward the steering column like on a crown. Also the buttons (lift up, lift down, side shift, tilt and horn) on a Raymond control handle also are designed to align with with each finger upon a usual grip. I miss the one I use to drive.
I agree, Raymond is definitely ergonomically superior to Crown and much easier to operate. I've been operating Raymond reach trucks for almost a year. I also like how older Raymond trucks have dampened forks that don't slam into the truck when you bring them back in unlike the older Crowns do.
I use one at home depot all the time cuz I'm certified
Been a lift truck tech for 28 years....HATE CROWNS!!!!
Have to see what company makes the ones at my job, I get Certified on it tomorrow...

Thank you for help giving understanding
Really good teaching
Great information thank you brother
best video found thank you for your time.
Thank you sir. I am before working . Reach stacker opertor. Maybe neutral difference
The steering isn't reversed, it's just that you are reversing when you drive power-unit first. When you drive forks first it steers similar to a car.
Most of the time your driving track forward, so it is reverse. It only like a car in the aisle when its forks forward to obtain product. 🔄
I'm glad you pointed this out. This guy did an awful job explaining it and didn't explain what he meant by inverted steering.
Not necessarily, as cars don't have rear wheel steering. Very important.
Hey I operate crown rt and if u want to operate stand up then there a handle under the seat just pull it and sear go down u didn't have to use the lever on the side
I’m glad our reach trucks aren’t inverted.
I use a newer version with the Monolift, with a significant improvement in forks-forward visibility.
The single mast?
Yeah, I drive both, the monolift mast is a big improvement
Yooo wdf i been driving reach truck for over 2 years now i never knew i could sit down on resch truck my reach trucks dont have that lever switch thingy lol
I've been driving a toyota reach truck for about 7 years now, about 4 years in the company I work for got in a crown to test and I couldn't stand the controls.. the crown made me frown
Man, you are wrong! I drive these Crown reach trucks every day, and are fast, and simple to operate! The RC series is easy too! The Raymond lift trucks are some of the best, but are more expensive than the Crown series.
@@ronaldgreen5292 in not wrong its my opinion. Toyota trucks make more sense to me, you push the lever forward it goes forward, pull back it goes backwards, up on your thumb it lifts, down the forks go down.. crown was very odd for me and I felt like I had less control..I did get more comfortable after a week of using it but that's just my opinion on what I'm use to.
Most places say they want you to be safe. But they are on you to make production numbers
