End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are well known in the material handling business for their great flexibility. These machines have great performance features which are quite similar to sit-down electric forklift units.
These forklift units are ideal for warehouse settings that have limited space. The space required to utilize these equipment are less than the three-wheel electric lift truck truck requirements. These equipment are an ideal option for applications which require regular on and off access, as their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
Many companies used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading equipments could arrange finished goods on pallets and materials to be stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers simple and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great alternative for those who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require yet in an efficient and safe way.
All standard reach truck models will have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the equipment. Telescoping forks are mounted to the out-rigging and can move down and up. The tines additionally include a hydraulic setup that allows the driver to lift the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only provides a lot more balance to the whole load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to maneuver between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
When the reach truck finds the shelves which are selected for the pallet, the hydraulics enable the blades to swing into position and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into place. Normally, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide with no trouble, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
