It all started with a request from a packaging material producer who did not want to invest in heavy and expensive push-pull attachments for transporting goods on slip-sheets. Meijer Handling Solutions designed a forklift fork, KOOI® RollerForks, with two layers of rollers rotating in opposite directions when they touch the floor, causing the load to remain stationary as the forks are withdrawn from under the load. A very simple but efficiënt slip-sheet handling system.
Years ago, following our forklift forks with rollers, known as RollerForks, the first request came from a military organization for handling air cargo goods with so-called ULDs (Unit Load Devices) or aluminium air freight pallets. Meijer developed a suitable solution for this, and now these are sold to many other military entities, aid organizations, and even in autos sports, with Formula 1 being one of our many clients.
Extremely suitable for unloading 40ft sea containers. The RollerForks are pushed directly under the slip-sheet by the forward motion of the forklift. The load is lifted and can be directly unloaded onto a pallet by retracting the RollerForks. A very fast and inexpensive slip-sheet attachment.
Robust construction with high-quality, low-noise rollers makes this a highly effective forklift attachment for handling primarily aluminum ULD air freight pallets. Features like shock-absorbing bumpers and FOD locking make it also one of the safest units available.
This year, 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 hydraulic 𝗞𝗢𝗢𝗜®𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 were deployed at a 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿 in Central Europe on several heavy-duty Linde forklifts. It quickly became clear that this was a 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁, as the ReachForks had to handle special loads while dealing with 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀.

Read moreThe cost of storage space in the Netherlands and beyond is rising due to increasing energy and rental costs. That’s why it’s crucial to maximize the use of available pallet spaces and optimize every square meter within the existing warehouse. Often, the maximum height of warehouse racking is not fully utilized, even though an additional […]

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.
