End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are common in the material handling industry for their great flexibility. These machinery have great performance features which are quite like sit-down electric forklift units.
Ideally, these forklift truck models are suitable for warehousing operation environments that have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are often less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These equipment are an excellent alternative for applications that require frequent off and on access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading machine used by a variety of companies that maintain a storage facility which involves the arrangement of finished products on pallets and materials which are stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great option for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require for immediate use in a safe and efficient way.
All standard reach truck units will have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machinery. Telescoping forks are mounted to the out-rigging and can move up and down. The blades also have a hydraulic setup which enables the driver to pick up the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not only provides more balance to the whole load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to move 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. Usually, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across with no trouble, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
