End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control forklift is an extremely flexible machinery and is common in the material handling business. These equipment have superior performance features that are quite similar to sit-down electric forklift units.
These lift truck units are ideal for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space required to operate these machines are less than the three-wheel electric lift truck truck needs. These equipment are an ideal alternative for applications that need regular on and off access, because their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
Lots of businesses utilized a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading devices can arrange finished goods on pallets and materials to be stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers simple and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great alternative for those who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need 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 up and down are mounted to the out-rigging. The blades additionally have a hydraulic system which allows the operator to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not only offers more balance to the whole load, but makes it very easy for the reach truck to maneuver between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
Once the designated shelf has been identified, the hydraulic blades swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into position. Usually, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across without any problem, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
