End Control Forklifts
The stand-up end control forklift is a really flexible machinery and is common in the material handling industry. These machinery have great performance characteristics which are somewhat like sit-down electric forklift units.
Ideally, these forklift truck models are suitable for warehousing operation environments which have limited space. Their working aisle requirements are often less than those required of a three-wheel electric forklift truck. These machinery are an ideal alternative for applications that require regular off and on access, because their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
Numerous companies utilized a reach truck to maintain their storage facilities. These loading equipments could arrange finished products on pallets and supplies to be stacked or stored into tall shelving compartments. The reach truck provides safe and simple retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent option for people who prefer to store pallets of products they do not need yet in an efficient and safe way.
All standard reach truck models will have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the equipment. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and can move up and down. The tines also include a hydraulic setup which allows the operator to lift the load and move it over the out-riggers. This particular design not only gives a lot more balance to the whole load, but makes it very easy for the reach truck to maneuver into narrow aisles between the storage shelves.
After the reach truck finds the shelves that are designated for the pallet, the hydraulics enable the tines to swing into place and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into place. Usually, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet wide without difficulty, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
