How Much Could You Save by Fitting an Attachment?

The STILL range of electric and engine forklift trucks are proven to save you time and money in many ways, but did you realize you could make even more savings and improve working efficiencies by fitting an attachment?

Every day throughout the UK, hundreds of vehicles are being loaded and unloaded but fork truck users could be making huge savings by reducing the loading time, travelling distances, fuel costs and damage to goods and lorry beds.  Some of the most popular types of attachments are:

Telescopic Forks (Kooi)

Faster and safer turnaround of vehicles as all the loading takes place from one side – less forklift travelling means less fuel cost. The forks can also be extended to carry two pallets at a time on longer journeys. 

Fork Positioners

The operator can easily and safely adjust the position of the forks to accommodate different sizes and types of loads.  Multi-fork positioners are also available to handle several pallets at a time therefore increasing productivity significantly.

Sideshifters

Fitting a sideshift will reduce the number of truck movements required and therefore save on time and energy – fuel or electricity. Precise movement of the load can also be achieved which reduces potential damage to the loads and vehicle.

An attachment can reduce cost and improve overall handling efficiency, however one of the main benefits is safety.  So whether you are working at height, on uneven surfaces or handling dangerous loads, a correctly specified attachment will enable a safer working environment.
