End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control lift truck is a really flexible equipment and is well known in the material handling business. These machinery have superior performance characteristics that are quite like sit-down electric lift truck units.
Ideally, these forklift truck units are suited for warehousing operation environments which have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are usually less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machines are an ideal option for applications that need frequent off and on access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional feature.
Many businesses utilized a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading machines can arrange finished products on pallets and materials to be stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and easy retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent option for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need for immediate use in an efficient and safe way.
The basic reach truck model is equipped with an out-rigging mechanism located on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping blades that move down and up are mounted to the out-rigging. The blades additionally include a hydraulic system that allows the operator to lift the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not just offers more balance to the overall load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to maneuver between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
Once 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 position. Typically, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across without any problem, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
