KOOI® Attachments: Mast Height Extensions

IMPROVED LIFT TRUCK HEIGHT AND FLEXIBILITY WITH KOOI® MAST EXTENSIONS WITHOUT CHANGING THE EXISTING MAST.

Cost-Effective Lifting Solutions: Avoid New Forklift Purchases

Warehouse storage configurations can change due to varying package sizes, potentially making existing forklift lift heights inadequate. This might necessitate purchasing a new mast or forklift. However, longer masts can affect under-clearance between areas or visibility with three-section masts. Yet, the most significant issue often becomes the retrofitting costs associated with adapting the forklift, posing a substantial challenge.

The KOOI® Mast Height Extension increases forklift lifting height without needing a new mast or truck, saving costs. It also improves under-door clearance while preserving lift height, which is ideal for versatile storage tasks and container entry. Beneficial for rental fleets, it offers an alternative to quad-mast units, enhancing visibility and maintaining higher residual values, thereby maximizing lift truck utility.

The advantages of our Mast Height Extensions

Productivity

Since a Mast Height Adjustment Unit can be mounted on the existing fork carriage, a forklift can be quickly operational again without changing the existing mast.

Costs saving

Prevents the purchase of a new mast or forklift and conversion costs. Also, the average delivery time for a new mast or forklift takes longer than that for a KOOI® Add-On Mast.

Space saving

Expansion of the warehouse is not always necessary if there is enough height to install an additional beam, allowing for an extra row of pallets to be placed.

Cut internal transport costs up to
50%
Save time within transport up to
32%
Save valuable space up to
21%

Frequently asked questions about mast height extensions

Can an Add-On Mast simply be mounted on the existing fork carriage of a forklift?

An additional auxiliary mast can never be mounted without consulting an authorized forklift dealer. An auxiliary mast creates additional front overhang and adds extra weight due to its own mass. This affects the residual carrying capacity of the forklift, and the dealer must perform a new calculation to ensure safety is not compromised.

On which forklifts can a mast height extension be mounted?

In principle, the detachable Extra Lift Mast can be mounted on any forklift with a standard FEM/ISO mounting, as is the case with most ReachTrucks, Counterbalance, and Articulated forklifts.

Up to what additional lifting height and capacity can a Mast Height Extension be made?

The Add-on Mast is produced from a capacity of 2000 kg up to a maximum of 3000 kg where a minimum lifting height is 300 mm and the maximum lifting height becomes 1000 mm.

Is it possible to mount other forklift attachments, such as a fork positioner, on the fork carriage of the Add-On Mast?

No additional attachment can be placed on a front-mounted mast without informing the manufacturer. Due to the construction, the load must always be evenly distributed on the height adjuster. Therefore, a fork positioner or side shift, for example, is not allowed.

Is it necessary to buy new forklift forks with the purchases of a Mast Height Extension?

The standard forklift forks can simply be transferred from the existing forklift during the installation of an Add-On Mast. Therefore, there is no need to buy new forklift forks.

Safe and Efficient Pallet Handling with KOOI® Add-On Mast and Camera System

𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 has been a well-known name in the northern part of the province of Noord-Holland since 1975. Their product range primarily includes Hyster and Still forklifts and Cesab pallet trucks. With 𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝟱𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, Harmsen knows precisely what its customers need, enabling the end user to operate forklifts more efficiently.

On the same premises in Wieringerwerf, you’ll also find 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝘂𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗷𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗹, 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 from estates, bankruptcies, or other sources.

To achieve these heights, it became necessary to build an “add-on mast” onto the existing mast of a 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗸.
