Discover the applications where telescopic forks can be utilized within your business

With the KOOI® Next program the forklift can be used even more efficiently. The handling speed can be increased, damage to goods, pallets and racks can be reduced and safety can also be improved. Many companies use temporary workers and under time pressure it becomes more difficult to provide the forklift driver with adequate training. The KOOI® Next program is an excellent tool to provide the driver with that information, so that he quickly becomes familiar with the forklift.

ReachDetect is a compact sensor system that detects the three key states of ReachForks: fully retracted, in motion, and fully extended, enabling precise control, safety, and automation in the material handling industry.  

Forklifts such as AGVs and Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) trucks are frequently equipped with telescopic forks. These forks enable special forklift pallets to be placed double-deep in warehouse racks, help bridge certain distances due to new warehouse layout configurations, or serve other logistical needs. 

In some situations, it can be difficult, or even impossible, for the operator to see whether the reach forks are retracted or extended. This lack of visibility may lead to damage to the forklift or the warehouse racking. 

To address this issue, the KOOI® ReachTrack system has been developed. Using a sensor, the system provides clear visual signals to indicate whether the telescopic forks are fully retracted, in motion, or fully extended. 

This solution contributes to improved forklift safety, reduces the burden on the operator caused by limited visibility, and supports more efficient forklift operation overall.

ReachControl-icon

KOOI® ReachControl

Measure the extended fork length at each position by means of pre-sets so that the forks cannot protrude at the back of a pallet.
 Deflection-system-icon

KOOI® Deflection System

Measure the actual angle of the standard forklift forks when a load is being picked up. The angle sensor increases efficiency.

KOOI® AGV

KOOI® ReachForks on AGV is no longer an exception and depending on the manufacturer.
Overview Features
  • Detects all key fork positions – Fully retracted, in motion, and fully extended, ensuring accurate monitoring of ReachForks.
  • Improves operator awareness – Visual signals provide clear feedback, even when visibility is limited.
  • Prevents costly damage – Helps avoid collisions with racking or equipment caused by misjudged fork positions.
  • Boosts forklift efficiency – Enables safer and smoother pallet handling in complex warehouse layouts.
  • Supports automation and control – Compact sensor system ideal for AGVs and VNA trucks in modern material handling environments.
  • Two sensors each provide signals that, when combined, detect whether the forks are extended or retracted (in an intermediate position). This can trigger a light, sound, or another type of action.
  • The system is delivered with the sensors pre-installed. Connection to the forklift and programming of the system must be carried out by the forklift supplier.

IMPROVE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY WITH
KOOI® NEXT IT'S A WIN-WIN.

The KOOI® Next program enhances forklift efficiency by increasing handling speed, reducing damage to goods, pallets, and racks, and improving safety. Many companies rely on temporary workers, making it challenging to adequately train forklift drivers under time constraints. The KOOI® Next program is an excellent resource to quickly familiarize drivers with the forklift, providing them with the necessary information.
