In logistics, efficiency and safety are critical. Yet not every company works with standard pallets. Many operations deal with different pallet sizes, creating daily challenges for forklift operators.
The issue? Using the wrong fork length can lead to:
- Damaged pallets and goods
- Safety risks on the work floor
- Unnecessary physical strain and even injuries
Why traditional “solutions” fall short
To work around this, operators often rely on markings, pallet stoppers, or manual sleeves. But these makeshift solutions are far from ideal:
- They require extra skill and constant attention
- Operators frequently have to leave the truck for manual adjustments
- The process costs valuable time and increases the risk of mistakes or accidents
The innovation from Meijer Handling Solutions
As a global leader in telescopic fork technology, Meijer Handling Solutions has developed an advanced solution with KOOI® ReachForks and the intelligent ReachControl system.
These hydraulically extendable forks allow operators to adjust fork length directly from the driver’s seat – quickly, safely, and without any manual intervention.
From standard telescopic forks to intelligent control
Standard telescopic forks usually offer only two positions: fully retracted or fully extended. That limits flexibility.
With the KOOI® ReachControl system, operators gain full control:
- A precision measuring system continuously tracks fork length
- Multiple pallet sizes can be stored in the easy-to-use app
- During extension, forks automatically stop at the preset length
- Switching to another pallet size is as simple as selecting a new setting
Proven benefits in daily operations
- Faster and safer handling with less product damage
- No need for manual adjustments or add-ons
- Improved ergonomics, reducing strain on operators
- Streamlined processes in warehousing, cross-docking, and transport
- Maximum flexibility: one set of forks covers multiple pallet sizes
Conclusion: Flexibility, safety, and efficiency combined
With KOOI® ReachControl, Meijer Handling Solutions brings a new level of safety and efficiency to material handling. Companies dealing with multiple pallet sizes no longer have to compromise between speed, ergonomics, or operational safety.
The result: a flexible, user-friendly system that reduces damage, protects operators, and optimizes workflow.
