End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are popular in the material handling industry for their extreme flexibility. These equipment have superior performance characteristics which are somewhat similar to sit-down electric forklift models.
These forklift units are great for warehouse environments that have limited space. The space needed to utilize these machines are less than the three-wheel electric lift truck truck needs. These machines are an ideal option for applications that need regular on and off access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional 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 supplies which are stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides easy and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent option for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need for immediate use in a way that is both safe and efficient.
All standard reach truck models will have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machine. Telescoping forks are mounted to the out-rigging and could move up and down. The tines additionally include a hydraulic setup that enables the driver to pick up the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only offers much more balance to the overall load, but makes it very easy for the reach truck to move between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
Once the selected shelf has been identified, the hydraulic tines swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into position. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide without any problem, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
