Compared to the traditional use of forklift forks to pick up pallets of goods for handling and stacking, the application of dedicated forklift attachments can greatly increase the efficiency of forklift operation and reduce operating costs. Specialized attachments for forklift can perform functions such as clamping, rotating (clockwise/counterclockwise), side-shift, push/pull, overturn (forward/backward), separate/close (adjust fork distance), telescoping, etc., which cannot be done by ordinary forklift trucks. The significance of the application of special attachments for forklift can be summarized as follows.
Compared with the traditional manual handling, mechanized transporting takes less time, reduces labor expenses and costs, and improves efficiency. In the same material handling cycle, the number of forklift movements is significantly reduced, and the corresponding tire abrasion, transmission gear wear, oil consumption of the forklift are also reduced, thus the operating cost is also reduced.
The forklift attachments designed and produced by professional forklift attachment manufacturers for different industrial conditions are all equipped with safety devices, which make it difficult for the load to slip under abnormal conditions, such as pressure-holding device for clamp attachment (when the load is loaded, the oil pipe will burst, and the hydraulic system will keep the pressure, so the load will not slip); End cushioning device of side-shift attachment, etc., which reduces the accident rate.
With the unique functions like clamping, side-shifting, rotating, etc. of attachments, goods can be transported, stacked, loaded and unloaded more safely, thus minimizing the loss of cargo. The usage of attachments also reduces the frequency use of pallet (e.g. for non-palletized operations) and the associated purchase and maintenance costs reduced.
