End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control forklift is a really flexible machine and is popular in the material handling industry. These equipment have superior performance features which are quite similar to sit-down electric lift truck models.
Ideally, these forklift truck units are suitable for warehousing operation atmospheres that have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are normally less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machines are an excellent alternative for applications that require regular on and off access, since their stand-up design is an exceptional characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading apparatus utilized by various companies that maintain a storage facility that involves the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and supplies that are stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides safe and easy retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent choice for individuals who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not require yet in a way that is both safe and efficient.
All standard reach truck models would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the equipment. Telescoping forks are mounted to the out-rigging and could move down and up. The forks additionally have a hydraulic setup that allows the operator to lift the load and reposition it over the out-riggers. This design not just offers more balance to the whole load, but makes it really easy for the reach truck to move between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
When 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 place. Normally, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across without difficulty, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
