End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are popular in the material handling business for their great flexibility. These equipment have superior performance characteristics which are quite similar to sit-down electric forklift models.
These lift truck units are ideal for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space needed to use these machines are less than the three-wheel electric lift truck truck needs. These equipment are an ideal option for applications which need frequent on and off access, since their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
The reach truck is a loading machine utilized by various companies which maintain a storage facility involving the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and supplies that are stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides simple and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent option for people who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need yet in a way that is safe and efficient.
All standard reach truck units would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machine. Telescoping tines are mounted to the out-rigging and can move down and up. The blades additionally include a hydraulic system that allows the driver to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not just provides a lot more balance to the whole load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to move into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
Once the designated shelf has been identified, the hydraulic forks swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into position. Typically, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet wide with no trouble, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
