End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control forklift is an extremely flexible machine and is common in the material handling business. These equipment have great performance characteristics which are quite like sit-down electric forklift models.
These forklift units are great for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space required to operate these machines are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck needs. These equipment are an excellent option for applications that need regular on and off access, as their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
The reach truck is a loading apparatus utilized by a variety of companies which maintain a storage facility involving the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and materials which are stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent option for those who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need yet in a way which is efficient and safe.
The standard reach truck model is outfitted with an out-rigging mechanism situated on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping forks which move up and down are mounted to the out-rigging. The forks additionally have a hydraulic setup that allows the operator to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not just 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.
When the reach truck finds the shelves that 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 position. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet wide without any problem, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
