Why Manual KOOI® ReachForks Are a Smarter, Safer Alternative to Add-On Forklift Sleeves

Companies looking to reduce damage, improve safety, and save valuable handling time should consider manual KOOI® ReachForks as a smarter alternative to traditional add-on forklift sleeves.

Many businesses using add-on sleeves already understand the risks of handling long or non-standard pallets with standard forklift forks. Forks that are too short can cause pallet boards to break or loads to tip forward, leading to product damage, pallet failure, and in the worst cases, injuries from falling goods.

By choosing add-on sleeves, companies acknowledge these risks and attempt to compensate for them. But the question remains: are add-on sleeves really the best long-term investment—especially now that a safer, more efficient option exists?

Why Manual KOOI® ReachForks Are the Better Choice

Manual KOOI® ReachForks provide a practical, time-saving solution for handling long or oversized pallets. Because they remain permanently attached to the forklift, operators can act immediately—without spending time retrieving, mounting, and returning sleeves.
More efficiency means more productivity—and as always, time is money.

A free cost calculation tool on the Meijer Handling Solutions website (no registration required) allows users to instantly see how much they could save annually by switching to manual KOOI® ReachForks.
