The automotive industry is faced with unparalleled material handling challenges. Load carriers range from various pallet sizes to numerous types of metal bins and specialized transportation racks for stamped components.
VARIABLE LENGTH AND WIDTH
Most steel containers have insert pockets for the lift truck forks but the position of those pockets are rarely the same. This means the distance measured over the forks often requires frequent readjustment. Since the depth of the loads, (cages, boxes, bins, etc…), varies as much as the width, the fork length required for safe support and transport also varies and often requires lift trucks with different sized fork lengths. The extra time and equipment needed to deal with these challenges escalates operational costs.
THE PERFECT COMBINATION!
The solution for this handling problem is quite simple. By combining a forks-positioner or forks-spreader withhydraulic-telescopic KOOI-REACHFORKS®, both width over the forks and length of forks can be adjusted at the touch of a lever. Depending on the application and if there is less frequent need for variable fork length,Manual Extendable KOOI-REACHFORKS® can also be used.
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY
The combination of forks spreading and fork extensions saves time, improves operational safety and can reduce the number of forklift trucks needed within the operation. Having the ability to quickly adjust the fork length also helps prevent damage to load carriers and to product as the correct fork length is always available.
Telescopic forks can also save time in loading/off-loading operations as flatbed trailers or rail cars can be accessed from just one side.
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.
