End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are common in the material handling industry for their extreme flexibility. These machines have superior performance characteristics which are somewhat similar to sit-down electric forklift units.
These forklift units are ideal for warehouse environments that have limited space. The space required to operate these equipment are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck needs. These machinery are an ideal alternative for applications which need frequent on and off access, as their stand-up design is an exceptional feature.
Numerous businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading devices can arrange finished products on pallets and materials to be stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides simple and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great option for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require for immediate use in a safe and efficient way.
The standard reach truck model is outfitted 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 tines additionally have a hydraulic system that allows the driver to lift the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only offers more balance to the whole load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to maneuver between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
After the reach truck finds the shelves which are selected for the pallet, the hydraulics enable the blades to swing into position and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into place. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide with no trouble, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
