BALYO REACHY Review: Specs and Uses of the 11 m Robotic Reach Truck
Updated: 7 days ago
The BALYO REACHY is a robotic reach truck that stores and retrieves pallets in standard racking up to 11 m high. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications and uses.
Quick Verdict
The reach truck is the standard machine for selective pallet racking, and REACHY automates it. It lifts 1,400 to 1,600 kg to 11 m in aisles from 2.9 m and travels at 2 m/s. 3D cameras under the forks recognise more than 100 pallet types and check that a rack position is free before placing a load. The robot is built on a production reach truck and keeps a manual mode. Navigation needs no reflectors or markers.
