End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control lift truck is a really flexible equipment and is popular in the material handling business. These equipment have superior performance features that are quite similar to sit-down electric lift truck units.
These lift truck units are great for warehouse environments which have limited space. The space required to utilize these equipment are less than the three-wheel electric forklift truck requirements. These machines are an excellent alternative for applications that need frequent on and off access, because their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading device used by a variety of businesses which maintain a storage facility that involves the arrangement of finished products on pallets and materials which are stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great alternative for individuals who prefer to store pallets of products they do not require yet in a way that is efficient and safe.
All standard reach truck units would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the equipment. Telescoping forks are mounted to the out-rigging and could move up and down. The tines additionally include a hydraulic system which enables the operator to pick up the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not just provides more balance to the overall load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to maneuver 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. Typically, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide without difficulty, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
