End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control lift truck is an extremely flexible machinery and is popular in the material handling industry. These equipment have superior performance characteristics which are quite like sit-down electric forklift models.
These lift truck units are ideal for warehouse environments that have limited space. The space required to use these machines are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck needs. These machines are an excellent choice for applications that need frequent on and off access, as their stand-up design is an exceptional feature.
Many businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading machines could arrange finished products on pallets and materials to be stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great choice for people who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need for immediate use in a way that is efficient and safe.
The standard reach truck unit is equipped 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 forks also have a hydraulic system which allows the operator to pick up the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not only provides more balance to the overall load, but makes it very easy for the reach truck to move between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
Once the designated shelf has been identified, the hydraulic forks swing into action and lower the pallet into the shelving unit, helping to slide the load into position. Normally, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide with no trouble, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
