End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are well known in the material handling industry for their great flexibility. These equipment have superior performance characteristics that are somewhat like 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 usually less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machines are an excellent choice for applications that require regular on and off access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional feature.
Many businesses utilized a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading equipments could arrange finished goods on pallets and materials to be stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides safe and easy retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great option for individuals who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need for immediate use in a way that is safe and efficient.
All basic reach truck models would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machine. Telescoping tines are mounted to the out-rigging and can move up and down. The tines additionally have a hydraulic system which enables 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 really easy for the reach truck to move into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
When the reach truck finds the shelves that are designated for the pallet, the hydraulics enable the blades to swing into position and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into place. Usually, a reach truck will 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.
