We will be closed from December 23 through January 3, 2025, due to the Christmas and New Year vacations. We will resume our normal business activities on January 6, 2025. Thank you for your understanding.
The TERRA group, Austria, has three strategic business sectors: construction machinery, materials handling and the production and development of side loaders and all-terrain loaders. More than 80 people are employed at the Perg production site. We have been mounting KOOI-ReachForks on Jumbo loaders here for more than 20 years. These loaders are used for transporting long goods such as plastic pipes, wood in various forms as well as aluminium and metal profiles. What advantages can KOOI extendable forks offer?
Stefan Hahn, Field Support at Terra Perg, explains: “Sometimes when transporting long goods they are handled by loaders fitted with fork spreaders with 4 or 6 telescopic forks. Optimum synchronisation of the hydraulic fork arms is vitally important. This is a big plus and a decisive advantage of KOOI-reachForks!”
Apart from the standard extendable forks, special models of the KOOI-ReachForks for side loaders are especially in demand of the Terra group. Greater fork capacities of more than 13 tonnes with a horizontal load centre of 600 mm, also in double pairs, are produced here. In the capacity range up to 20 tonnes the forks have a clear advantage over other feeder devices such as a pantograph. The fork cross-section sometimes limits the scope of application of the forks, particularly for the double pair model. But a greater residual capacity is achieved through its lower own weight. The machine is easy to handle, has a more powerful performance and hence is more cost effective. The driver’s view is not obstructed.
When working on uneven ground the fork height adjusters, mounted individually or on both fork arms, ensure optimum tilt compensation for the goods. Peter Ogris, responsible for technical order clarification, appreciates the sophisticated quality of the forks and above all the competence and flexibility of the team at MSE-Forks in solving problems. Modifications at short notice during running production can be integrated for customised models. This is possible through the intensive, constructive collaboration of all parties in the interest of the customer.
The ISO standards are primarily committed to quality, reliability, and precision within various industrial processes. A company adhering to these ISO standards demonstrates its dedication to maintaining high-quality management systems, ensuring robustness in forklift fork manufacturing, and precise contamination control in hydraulic fluids. Such compliance underscores the company's focus on delivering products and services that meet rigorous international benchmarks, improving operational efficiency, minimizing errors, and enhancing customer satisfaction. This commitment not only sets the company apart in terms of product reliability and safety but also reflects its ongoing investment in technological advancements and continuous improvement.
