End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are common in the material handling business for their extreme flexibility. These machinery have superior performance characteristics that are somewhat similar to sit-down electric forklift models.
Ideally, these forklift truck models are suited for warehousing operation settings which have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are often less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machinery are an excellent alternative for applications that need regular on and off access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional feature.
The reach truck is a loading device utilized by a variety of companies that maintain a storage facility that involves the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and materials which are stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and easy retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent choice for those who prefer to store pallets of products they do not require yet in an efficient and safe way.
All basic reach truck models would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the equipment. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and can move up and down. The forks additionally include a hydraulic system which allows the operator to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not just offers a lot more balance to the whole load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to maneuver into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
After the reach truck finds the shelves that are selected for the pallet, the hydraulics allow the forks to swing into position and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into position. Usually, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet wide without any problem, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
