Not only are pallets used in distribution centers and production facilities, but many long goods, such as metal, wood, plastic profiles, or machines that cannot be handled on pallets due to their length, are also transported. These types of loads are carried by so-called side loader forklifts. As with pallet transport, the goods may remain stable on the forks at all times.
During transport, long goods must be stable on the forklift forks. If not, the load may slide off the forks when traversing slopes or hilly terrain. This can lead to product damage and pose a risk of injury to nearby personnel. The vertical fork adjustment system of KOOI® allows for compensation of height differences when navigating slopes, ensuring that the load remains horizontal and preventing damage. Even when pallets need to be transported on a construction site, for example, the load must remain stable on the pallet to prevent it from falling off.
Not all roads and work sites are flat, as is common in the Netherlands. In situations where there is a risk of the load sliding off the forks or falling off pallets, significant product damage can be prevented. Additionally, a falling load can cause further issues if bystanders are involved.
A falling load causes product damage, and beyond material losses, it incurs additional costs such as repackaging/restacking, inventory adjustments, damage reports for the customer, and extra waiting time because another shipment product needs to be supplied.
What should you do as a driver if you know there is a constant risk of your load being damaged because it can slide off the forks or fall, especially when a solution exists to prevent this damage? The right equipment, allows the driver to work more efficiently and find greater satisfaction in their job.
A vertical fork adjuster is a device that allows the forklift forks to be moved up and down independently, ensuring optimal positioning of the load.
It prevents loads from sliding off the forks on inclines, reducing the risk of product damage and injury to nearby personnel.
Yes, it is versatile and can handle various loads, including long goods, ensuring they remain stable and secure during transport.
Yes, it allows for quicker and more efficient handling of loads, reducing the time needed for adjustments and increasing overall productivity.
By preventing damage to products, it reduces costs associated with repackaging, inventory adjustments, and downtime.
Installation processes may vary, but most vertical fork adjusters are designed for easy integration with standard forklift models ad needs one extra hydraulic function.
Regular maintenance includes checking for wear and tear, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring that the hydraulic systems are functioning correctly.
Yes, it is suitable for use in various environments, including warehouses, distribution centers, and production facilities, but also in all kinds of weather conditions.
