Since the ReachForks were developed by Meijer in 1980, they have been used in various applications. The ReachForks are an attachment for forklifts, allowing customers to enhance efficiency with a relatively simple and cost-effective investment significantly. With over one hundred thousand KOOI® ReachForks produced, these extendable forklift forks have become indispensable in logistics. The forklift industry no longer sees the reach forks as a “nice-to-have” but a serious tool that saves costs.
The hydraulic forklift forks can be operated from within the forklift cabin, making them the safest and most efficient method for extending forks. The driver does not need to leave the cabin, thereby preventing unsafe situations and eliminating time loss. Additionally, from an ergonomic standpoint, they are the best solution and contribute to the mental well-being of the driver. With the use of telescopic forks, damage can be minimized, leading to increased productivity for the driver. Furthermore, the significance of a content forklift operator for maintaining continuous operations is invaluable and hard to quantify in monetary terms.
Hydraulic KOOI® ReachForks Most often used for double-deep stacking, one sided loading of trucks and trains, for dual load transport and as extensions when a variety of different pallet sizes are used. Hydraulic extendable lift truck forks are controlled by the lift truck driver without leaving the forklift cage.
Manual KOOI® ReachForks Offer an alternative to hydraulic extendable forks for applications with infrequent need, budget limitations or those without the ability to add extra hydraulics to their lift trucks. Variable fork length is always available when needed, they are easy to use and virtually maintenance free.
KOOI® Extension Sleeves slide over the existing lift truck forks adding additional length of a fixed size. Usage is recommended for applications with very infrequent need for different fork length.
