End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are popular in the material handling business for their great flexibility. These equipment have great performance features which are somewhat like sit-down electric forklift models.
These forklift units are ideal for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space required to use these equipment are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck requirements. These machines are an ideal option for applications that need regular on and off access, since their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
A lot of businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading equipments can arrange finished products 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 a great option for people who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need yet in a safe and efficient way.
The basic reach truck model is outfitted with an out-rigging mechanism located on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping tines which move down and up are mounted to the out-rigging. The tines additionally have a hydraulic setup that allows the operator to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not just gives much more balance to the overall 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 tines swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into place. Normally, a reach truck would 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.
