End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are popular in the material handling business for their extreme flexibility. These machinery have great performance features that are quite like sit-down electric lift truck 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 forklift truck needs. These machinery are an ideal option for applications which need frequent off and on access, since their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
Numerous businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading devices can arrange finished products on pallets and supplies 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 choice for those who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need for immediate use in a safe and efficient way.
The basic reach truck unit is equipped with an out-rigging mechanism situated on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping forks which move down and up are mounted to the out-rigging. The forks additionally have a hydraulic system that enables the driver to lift the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not only provides more balance to the overall load, but makes it very 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 enable the tines to swing into place and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into position. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet across with no trouble, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
