End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control lift truck is a really flexible machinery and is popular in the material handling industry. These machinery have superior performance characteristics which are quite like sit-down electric forklift units.
Ideally, these forklift truck units are suitable for warehousing operation settings which have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are usually less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machinery are an ideal option for applications which need frequent on and off access, since their stand-up design is an excellent characteristic.
Numerous businesses used a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading machines can arrange finished products on pallets and supplies to be stored or stacked into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck offers easy and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also a great choice for people who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need for immediate use in an efficient and safe way.
The basic reach truck unit is outfitted 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 blades also include a hydraulic system which allows the operator to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not just offers much more balance to the overall load, but makes it very easy for the reach truck to maneuver into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
When the selected 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. Typically, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet wide without problems, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
