End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control forklift is a really flexible machinery and is common in the material handling industry. These machines have great performance characteristics that are quite like sit-down electric forklift models.
Ideally, these forklift truck units are suitable for warehousing operation settings which have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are normally less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machines are an ideal choice for applications which require regular off and on access, because their stand-up design is an exceptional characteristic.
The reach truck is a loading machine used by a variety of businesses which maintain a storage facility involving the arrangement of finished goods on pallets and supplies which are stored or stacked 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 for immediate use in an efficient and safe way.
All standard reach truck models will have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machine. Telescoping forks are mounted to the out-rigging and could move up and down. The forks also have a hydraulic system that enables the operator to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only provides more balance to the overall load, but makes it easier for the reach truck to move between the storage shelves into narrow aisles.
When the reach truck finds the shelves that are selected for the pallet, the hydraulics allow the tines to swing into place and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into place. Typically, a reach truck will easily fit into an aisle which is less than 10 feet across without difficulty, as long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
