End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are popular in the material handling industry for their great flexibility. These equipment have superior performance features which are somewhat similar to sit-down electric lift truck models.
Ideally, these forklift truck units are suitable for warehousing operation settings that have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are normally less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machinery are an ideal option for applications that need frequent on and off access, as their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
The reach truck is a loading device used by a variety of companies that maintain a storage facility involving the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and supplies which are stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent choice for those who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require yet in a safe and efficient way.
The standard reach truck model is equipped with an out-rigging mechanism situated on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping tines that move down and up are mounted to the out-rigging. The forks also include a hydraulic system which allows the driver to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not just provides more balance to the whole load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to maneuver into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
When the selected shelf has been identified, the hydraulic blades swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into position. Usually, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet across with no trouble, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
