End Control Forklifts
AC stand-up end control forklift trucks are well known in the material handling business for their extreme flexibility. These machines have superior performance characteristics that are quite comparable to sit-down electric forklift models.
These lift truck units are great for warehouse settings which have limited space. The space required to operate these machinery are less than the three-wheel electric lift truck truck requirements. These machines are an excellent option for applications which require frequent on and off access, as their stand-up design is an excellent feature.
The reach truck is a loading equipment utilized by a variety of companies that 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 easy and safe retrieval of the loaded pallets. It is also an excellent choice for those who prefer to store pallets of goods they do not need for immediate use in a safe and efficient way.
All standard reach truck units would have an out-rigging mechanism secured to the front of the machine. Telescoping blades are mounted to the out-rigging and can move down and up. The blades also include a hydraulic setup that allows the driver to pick up the load and move it over the out-riggers. This design not only gives 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.
After the reach truck finds the shelves which are designated for the pallet, the hydraulics enable the forks to swing into place and lower the pallet into the shelving, sliding the pallet into position. Normally, a reach truck would easily fit into an aisle that is less than 10 feet across without any problem, so long as there are no other pallets protruding out from the shelving area.
