End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control lift truck is an extremely flexible machinery and is common in the material handling industry. These machinery have superior performance characteristics which are somewhat like sit-down electric lift truck models.
These lift truck units are ideal for warehouse settings that have limited space. The space required to use these equipment are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck needs. These machines are an excellent choice for applications which require frequent on and off access, as their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
Numerous businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading machines can arrange finished products on pallets and supplies to be stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and easy retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great alternative for those who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require yet in a way that is efficient and safe.
The basic reach truck model is equipped with an out-rigging mechanism situated on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping tines which move down and up are mounted to the out-rigging. The tines also have a hydraulic system which allows the operator to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not just provides much more balance to the overall load, but makes it very easy for the reach truck to move between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
When 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 place. Normally, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across without problems, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
