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 characteristics which are somewhat like sit-down electric lift truck models.
These lift truck units are ideal for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space needed to operate these machines are less than the three-wheel electric lift truck truck requirements. These equipment are an excellent choice for applications which need frequent on and off access, as their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
A lot of businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading equipments could arrange finished products on pallets and supplies to be stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides easy and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent alternative for people who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need yet in a safe and efficient way.
All basic reach truck units would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the equipment. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and can move down and up. The tines additionally include a hydraulic system that enables the operator to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only offers more balance to the whole load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to move between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
When the selected shelf has been identified, the hydraulic forks swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into place. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across with no trouble, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
