Layer Picker
Layer Pickers have revolutionised the way palletised loads can be handled. The system is now widely used throughout the fresh produce sector and can be seen at most major supermarket distribution centres. The speed and versatility of the system can help your business reduce time, labour, repetitive strain injury claims and significantly increase your safe working practices, productivity rate and bottom line.
Multiple Load Handler
Multiple load handlers are used to double or triple a forklift’s productivity level by adding a second or third pair of forks to the truck. Operators can pick up more than one load at a time and transport them side by side. These attachments are often found in beverage and food handling warehouses.
Palletless Handling – Push Pull
The Push Pull attachments offer cost effective solutions to ensure optimum performance and maximum productivity when handling materials on slip sheets. These attachments are easily connected to a conventional fork lift truck for efficient palletless handling and can be swiftly disconnected to return to handling pallets. Enabling efficient handling of palletless materials in applications such as beverage handling, general cargo handling, bagged goods and fruit and corrugated box handling.
