Telescopic Forks: The Smart Solution to Diverse Pallet Sizes and Reduced Damage Costs

When dealing with different pallet sizes, having the right tools is crucial, and telescopic forks provide the versatility needed when the customer needs to handle multiple pallet sizes. Let’s be honest, using fixed-length forks doesn’t always accommodate the variety of pallet dimensions you’re working with. Your forklift supplier will most likely deliver your new forklift with standard forks, even though you are not just handling block pallets.

Fixed forks with a length of 1000mm could, in theory, pick up a so-called block pallet (1200x1000mm) from two sides without the risk of damaging products due to insufficient fork length or overextension beyond the pallet’s edges. But what happens when the customer needs to handle Euro pallets (800x1200mm) or special long pallets?

Telescopic forks offer the flexibility required to avoid common damage issues resulting from forklift forks that are either excessively long or too short, allowing operators to adjust fork length based on pallet size, minimizing the risk of product or pallet damage.

Moreover, having adjustable forks greatly improves the efficiency and safety of your forklift operators, who, equipped with a tool that enables quicker operations with reduced damage, perform more efficiently.

With fewer accidents and reduced product damage, this not only translates to cost savings for you but also improves productivity as your warehouse operates more smoothly and makes better use of available storage space.

If you regularly handle different pallet types and need to prevent product or pallet damage, it’s time to consider upgrading to KOOI® Telescopic Forks.

Investing in adjustable telescopic forks provides a scalable solution for businesses needing to adapt to varying pallet sizes, increasing both warehouse safety and operational performance.
