Aerial Work Platforms - There are many attachments meant for forklifts that can be used to help expand the capabilities of your forklift and allow you to carry items, handle materials with less effort or to accomplish clean-up tasks.
Several of the accessories are particularly designed to be able to fit on the blades themselves. Blade extensions for example, are utilized whenever you need much more fork length, which increases lifting capability. Fork extensions come in lengths ranging from forty eight to one hundred twenty inches. Triangular or rounded attachments are one more type utilized if moving rolled material so as to make certain it does not roll off of the standard flat forks.
Examples of lifting attachments consist of pivoting and telescoping crane or boom accessories. They can come in several different kinds and are normally designed for transporting metal bars, lumber, poles and other types of bulky things. Additional accessories like for example various kinds of hooks and hook plates are obtainable in order to pick up objects using a sling or chain. Magnetic lifters and slab lifters are other things which can be utilized with hook attachments. Slab lifters are specialized accessories that are designed for picking up different materials which are delivered in a slab or sheet format. Rug rams or carpet poles are other lifting tools which connect to your lift truck to be able to make transporting rolls of carpet much easier. The accessory connects onto the forklift's forks and has a pole that goes through the middle of the carpet roll.
There are numerous other types of lift truck accessories which could be utilized for facility maintenance like for instance snow blades. These forks connect to front end loaders and can transfer materials like for instance soil, snow and dirt. Other common cleanup attachments consist of magnetic sweepers and standard sweepers. Standard sweepers consist of a broom which the forklift blades connect onto for sweeping big spaces like for example factory floors, parking lots and warehouse. The magnetic sweeper is similar except that it has a magnetic plate rather than bristles. The magnetic sweeper is utilized in places where there is lots of metal debris such as on shop floors for example. Sweepers have widths as much as 60 inches and this surface area makes clean up fast and simple.
Material spreaders are other attachments utilized on lift trucks. These spreaders are helpful for various applications like for instance spreading seeds, ice melt, rock salt, pellets, fertilizers and insecticides.
Another optional lifting accessory are work platforms. These could be utilized by several different businesses everyday. Platforms may range in size from 36" x 36" to up to 60" x 60". Several models may be obtainable and are capable of folding up and storing into a smaller place. Work platforms are designed to raise workers up to an overhead location utilizing the forklift. Larger platform units have additional space for staff so as to bring tools and other essential items intended for the job. Often work platforms are constructed of poly material or steel.
