End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are common in the material handling industry for their extreme flexibility. These machinery have superior performance characteristics which are quite similar to sit-down electric forklift models.
These lift truck units are ideal for warehouse settings which have limited space. The space needed to utilize these machinery are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck needs. These machinery are an ideal alternative for applications that need frequent off and on access, since their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading machine utilized by various businesses which maintain a storage facility that involves the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and materials that are stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and easy retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent choice for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need yet in a way which is safe and efficient.
All basic reach truck models would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machinery. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and could move down and up. The tines additionally include a hydraulic system that allows the driver to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only offers more balance to the whole load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to maneuver between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
When the reach truck finds the shelves that are selected for the pallet, the hydraulics allow the tines to swing into place and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into position. Typically, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide without difficulty, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
