The tight 45.2" overall width and 62.9" wheelbase let you navigate narrow aisles with ease, while the 42" forks and 38–43.7" free‑lift height give you the reach you need to stack pallets high. Plus, an industry‑leading 3 Year Limited Warranty backs your investment, so you’ve got peace of mind as well as peak performance.
