A double reach platten assembly for a side reach crane or truck of a warehouse racking system can reach to a first row of pallets (18) or past the first pallet positions to a second row of pallets (18) in the warehouse. Selective control of advancement of intermediate platten sections (30) and of distal platten sections (34) ensures that for either pallet position the intermediate sections (30) can be advanced towards the pallet without fouling an associated front racking beam, while the distal platten sections (34) continue their extension into the fork cavity. Advantageously load centralizing means are also provided.
