End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are well known in the material handling business for their extreme flexibility. These machines have superior performance characteristics that are somewhat like sit-down electric forklift units.
These forklift units are ideal for warehouse settings which have limited space. The space needed to use these machines are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck requirements. These machines are an ideal alternative for applications that require regular off and on access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional feature.
Many companies utilized a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading equipments could arrange finished goods on pallets and materials 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 option for people who prefer to store pallets of products they do not require yet in a way that is both safe and efficient.
All standard reach truck models would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machine. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and could move down and up. The tines also include a hydraulic system which allows the operator to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only provides more balance to the whole load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to move into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
When the selected shelf has been identified, the hydraulic blades swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into place. Typically, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet across without problems, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
