DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The RT16C is an electric reach truck designed for high-bay storage and pallet handling in logistics environments. Its rated capacity reaches 1.6 tonnes with a 600 mm load centre, while lift heights range from 4,500 to 7,500 mm depending on the triplex mast configuration.
Within the STOCKMAN range, this model is positioned as a productivity-oriented warehousing solution, with an architecture designed for mixed indoor and outdoor traffic.
Two key elements define its application: a declared ground clearance of 120 mm to maintain smooth travel on degraded surfaces, and a chassis design focused on stability during handling operations at height.

Reach truck for outdoor operations and uneven ground

The RT16C meets the constraints encountered in warehouses with non-concrete traffic areas, outdoor docks, logistics platforms exposed to weather variations, as well as production sites requiring pallet transfers between buildings.

It is also suitable for port areas or storage yards where surfaces may include irregularities, gravel, slab joints or localised defects. In internal material flows, a reach truck is used for high-frequency tasks: put-away, replenishment, racking, and transfers to shipping areas.

Maintaining a stable trajectory and useful visibility supports consistent cycle times and limits slowdowns linked to poor ground conditions.

Advantages of the RT16C reach truck

The RT16C combines design choices focused on stability, operator comfort and efficient stacking under professional conditions.
Enhanced outdoor capability: PPS tyres and 120 mm ground clearance to limit ground contact on uneven surfaces.
Load stability: optimised chassis and weight distribution to secure handling operations, including on slopes or slippery surfaces.
Manoeuvrability in dense areas: compact dimensions with a stated turning radius of 1,770 mm, suitable for congested zones.
Rack precision: standard side shift for accurate pallet pick-up and placement without repositioning.
Operator comfort: ergonomic cab, adjustable suspended seat, electronic power steering with 180°/360° selection and fingertip controls.
Simplified maintenance: side battery extraction and high-grade components (controller and interface, transmission, motors).

Technical characteristics of the RT16C reach truck

The technical specifications of the RT16C translate directly into real handling performance, traffic safety and stacking throughput.
Structure / platform / chassis / load
The truck weighs 4,090 kg including battery, consistent with a design focused on stability for high lift heights. The rated capacity of 1.6 t is based on a 600 mm load centre, a logistics standard suited to Euro pallets and unitised loads. Ground clearance reaches 120 mm at the wheelbase centre and 105 mm under the mast when loaded, reducing the risk of contact when crossing joints or surface deformations.
Travel and mobility
Travel speed reaches 10 km/h with or without load, supporting regular transfers between storage, picking and shipping areas. Gradeability is rated at 10% loaded and 15% unladen, useful on dock ramps and platform access. The stated noise level of 68 dB(A) at the operator’s position contributes to a more controlled working environment over long cycles.
Manoeuvrability and dimensions
With an overall width of 1,400 mm and an overall length of 2,520 mm, the RT16C remains suitable for structured storage areas. The stated aisle width (Ast) of 2,680 mm with a 1,000 × 1,200 mm pallet crosswise and 2,845 mm with an 800 × 1,200 mm pallet lengthwise provides a reference for aisle design and crossings. The mast width of 690 mm improves lateral visibility during pallet approach and rack placement.
Wheels and travel behaviour
PPS tyres are designed for mixed environments, offering greater tolerance to surface irregularities than tyres intended solely for smooth floors. The chassis design and internal damping systems aim to reduce vibrations and jolts during mast extension phases, stabilising the load and limiting operator fatigue over the working day.
Energy, drive and autonomy
The RT16C operates with a 48 V / 560 Ah battery weighing 950 kg. This energy reserve is suited to warehousing cycles and repeated transfers, with side extraction simplifying battery change operations. AC traction delivers 6.4 kW (S2 60 min) and lifting power reaches 12.5 kW (S3 10%), values consistent with fast lifting and stable travel.
Ergonomics, MSD prevention and safety
The ergonomic cab features an adjustable and tilting suspended seat, a steering wheel adjustable in height and reach, and an adjustable sliding console with storage area. Fingertip controls simplify hydraulic function management, while ACEPS electronic power steering provides smooth and precise driving with selectable 180°/360° steering angles.

MSD prevention is supported through reduced repetitive effort, limited vibration exposure and simplified fine adjustments at the rack. Standard side shift improves accuracy without additional manoeuvres, reducing trajectory corrections and repositioning.

Productivity and operational efficiency

Reach truck productivity depends on cycle consistency: approach, pick-up, lift, placement and withdrawal. The RT16C combines stable travel speed with lift speeds adapted to throughput requirements (350 mm/s loaded and 500 mm/s unloaded).

Preconfigured driving modes (intensive, comfort, economy) via the control interface allow the truck’s behaviour to be adapted to operational context: activity peaks, restricted traffic areas or autonomy requirements.

Camera and height preselection options provide additional leverage in reducing search time and improving placement repeatability, particularly at high lift heights.

The RT16C is a high-bay warehousing solution designed for mixed-use applications, with a rated capacity of 1.6 t and lift heights up to 7.5 m depending on version. The 120 mm ground clearance, PPS tyres and stability-focused chassis architecture support travel on uneven surfaces. Driving ergonomics, fingertip controls, power steering and standard side shift contribute to more precise, consistent and controlled handling throughout the day.

Typical applications for the RT16C reach truck

The RT16C integrates into recurring material handling flows:
Put-away and retrieval in high-bay racking (4.5 to 7.5 m depending on mast)
Replenishment of picking and preparation areas
Handling between outdoor docks and storage areas
Transfers between buildings on logistics platforms
Precise rack placement thanks to standard side shift
Operation in areas with uneven floors and mixed traffic

Who is this reach truck designed for?

The RT16C is suited to operations seeking a reach truck with outdoor capability to handle pallets at height while maintaining consistent handling throughput. It meets the needs of logistics platforms, industrial sites, warehouses with outdoor yards, and operations requiring travel on mixed surface conditions.
