End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are well known in the material handling industry for their extreme flexibility. These equipment have superior performance features that are quite similar to sit-down electric forklift units.
These forklift units are great for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space required to operate these equipment are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck requirements. These machines are an excellent alternative for applications which need regular on and off access, since their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
Lots of businesses utilized a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading devices could arrange finished goods on pallets and supplies to be stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent alternative for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require for immediate use in an efficient and safe way.
All standard reach truck units would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machinery. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and can move down and up. The tines also have a hydraulic system which allows the driver to lift the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This particular design not just offers more balance to the overall load, but makes it easier 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 place. Usually, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across with no trouble, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
