Slipsheets are used for loading and unloading sea containers to optimize space and reduce the need for pallets, which can be cumbersome and heavy. These thin, pallet-sized sheets made of plastic, paper, or fiberboard provide a stable base for goods, allowing for easier sliding of products in and out of containers. Utilizing slipsheets increases the container’s payload and lowers shipping costs by eliminating the weight and volume of traditional pallets. This method is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and improves the efficiency of the loading and unloading process.
The advantage of mechanical RollerForks for loading and unloading sea containers lies in their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. These specialized forks are designed with integrated rollers, enabling the easy handling of pallet-less shipments. By facilitating the quick movement of goods with slipsheets, RollerForks eliminates the need for pallets, reduces shipping weight, and increases container space. This leads to lower transportation costs and improved operational speed. Furthermore, RollerForks are environmentally friendly as they decrease the reliance on wooden pallets, contributing to sustainable logistics practices while enhancing loading and unloading efficiency in sea container operations.

RollerForks are primarily suitable for handling slipsheets but can also manage standard pallets, eliminating the need to constantly switch from slip-sheet attachments to standard forks or have an extra forklift available.
RollerForks are purely mechanical, eliminating the need for an additional hydraulic function on the forklift. Since RollerForks are almost as heavy as standard forks, there is no need for a heavier forklift, unlike with a push-pull attachment.
Because of the time savings in unilateral loading and unloading, the forklift’s workload is reduced, less stressful situations arise, and the driver enjoys his job more. The truck driver joins in the fun because he can leave earlier and only has to open one side of the trailer curtains. Thus, working conditions during unilateral loading and unloading of trailers are improved.
RollerForks are a type of lift truck attachment designed for handling slip sheets and pallets with a built-in roller mechanism, allowing for efficient and versatile material handling.
RollerForks use a system of two layer of rollers embedded in the forks. When the forks are inserted under a load, the rollers rotate in opesite directon, allowing the forks to glide under the load and lift it with ease.
The main benefits include increased handling efficiency, reduced dependency on traditional pallets, improved workplace safety, and decreased manual handling efforts.
Yes, RollerForks can be easily installed on standard forklifts, making them a versatile solution for various warehousing and material handling applications. RollerForks do not use any hydraulics like a push/pull attachment.
RollerForks are ideal for handling loads on slip sheets with boxes, bags, and stacked goods. They are best suited for stable and well-packaged items. De-stacking, separating two slip-sheets packages, is not recommended.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting the rollers for wear and tear, lubricating moving parts, and keeping the forks clean to ensure smooth operation.
RollerForks work best on smooth and hard surfaces. Uneven or soft floors may affect the performance of the rollers.
It is important to follow the manufacturer’s safety guidelines, such as proper fork positioning, avoiding overloading, and ensuring the load is stable during transport.
RollerForks enhance productivity by reducing the need for manual pallet handling, speeding up loading and unloading times, and eliminating the need for traditional pallets in some cases.
No, it is advisable to use specially designed pallets when RollerForks need to remove slip-sheeted goods from a pallet. These pallets are purchased once and can be continuously used within the warehouse or production area. These pallets are called RollerForks Pallets.

Read moreWhen a pallet is pushed forward, the distance between the pallet and the forklift increases. This typically requires using a heavier forklift for one-sided loading and unloading. The reason is that the pallet’s center of gravity shifts, and the forklift needs to maintain balance with the extended pallet to prevent tipping. Additionally, the hydraulically operated extendable forks need a 4th function, which many forklift brands offer as a standard or optional feature. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult with your forklift supplier, who will likely be familiar with our KOOI® ReachForks since they are also supplied directly to most forklift manufacturers.
