Forklift is main material handling equipment for cargo transportation. It can be matched with different attachments. So how to select a suitable accessory for a forklift?
Forklift Accessories Selection Guide
1. The use of attachments: Compared with the traditional use of forklift forks to pick up cargo pallets for handling and stacking, the application of special attachments can greatly improve the efficiency of forklifts and reduce operating costs. The special forklift attachment can realize the functions of gripping, rotating (clockwise/counterclockwise), side shifting, pushing/pulling, flipping (forward/backward), separating/closing (adjusting the fork spacing), telescopic and so on. , which is an action that ordinary forklift forks cannot complete.
(1) High production efficiency and low operating cost: Mechanized handling takes less time than traditional manual handling, reduces labor expenditure and cost, and improves work efficiency. In the same handling cycle, the number of movements of the forklift is significantly reduced, the corresponding tires/transmission gears/fuel consumption, etc. of the forklift are also reduced accordingly, and the operating cost is also reduced accordingly.
(2) The operation is safe and reliable, and the accident rate is reduced: the attachments designed and produced by professional forklift attachment manufacturers for different industrial working conditions are designed with safety devices, and the goods clamped (or fork) are not easy to be clamped under abnormal conditions. Sliding, such as the pressure-maintaining device of the clip-type attachment (when the cargo is carried, the oil pipe bursts, the hydraulic system maintains the pressure, and the cargo will not slip off); the end buffer device of the side-shifting attachment, etc., reduces the accident rate.
(3) Small loss of goods: With the help of the unique functions of clamping/sideshifting/rotating, the goods can be transported or stacked or loaded and unloaded more safely, thereby minimizing the loss of goods. The use of attachments also reduces the frequency of pallet use (such as palletless handling operations), and its corresponding procurement and maintenance costs are also reduced.
