End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control lift truck is a really flexible machinery and is common in the material handling business. These equipment have great performance features that are quite like sit-down electric lift truck models.
Ideally, these forklift truck units are suited for warehousing operation atmospheres that have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are often less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machines are an excellent alternative for applications which require regular off and on access, as their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading equipment utilized by various businesses that maintain a storage facility involving the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and materials which 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 people who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need yet in a way that is safe and efficient.
The basic reach truck model is equipped with an out-rigging mechanism located on the front of the truck. A set of telescoping forks that move down and up are mounted to the out-rigging. The blades also include a hydraulic system that allows the driver to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only provides a lot more balance to the whole load, but makes it very 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 position. Usually, 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.
