Fork positioners
The fork positioner is a common forklift attachment that hydraulically moves the forks closer or further away from each other for faster and more effective handling of different pallet sizes and odd-size objects. This forklift attachment requires an additional hydraulic valve and moves the forks independently of one another.
Benefits
- Quicker load handling times.
- Reduced pallet damage, truck wear, and fuel consumption.
Paper rolls clamps
Paper roll clamps are used in paper handling industries like newspaper printers, paper manufacturers, and tissue manufacturers to handle various sized paper rolls. Furthermore, these forklift attachments are available with multiple gripping pads and automatic pressure controls to prevent paper roll damage. Clamps are the preferred forklift attachment when a load cannot be transported by pallet.
Benefits
- Intended primarily for the paper industry
- A large selection of clamp pads
- 360-degree rotation
- Cost savings due to less paper damage
Advantages of forklift attachments
Forklift attachments can help reduce operator stress and increase productivity. With a better understanding of the most common forklift attachments, their uses, and benefits, you can make an informed decision and select the best attachment for your specific needs. Keep in mind, however, that some forklift attachments require an additional hydraulic valve, which comes at an additional cost. Fortunately, several of these forklift attachments are simple to attach and detach, often without removing the forks. A single piece of equipment that can perform multiple functions is an excellent way to reduce operational costs.
