Safety Features
Safety should be a top priority when selecting lift truck forks. Look for features like heel wear indicators, which provide a visual cue to monitor the wear on the forks’ heels. This helps identify when it’s time for replacement to prevent failure during operation. Additionally, some forks come with safety lock mechanisms to secure them to the forklift carriage, reducing the risk of accidental detachment while lifting loads.
Certain applications may require specialized fork attachments to enhance productivity and versatility. Popular attachments include fork positioners, sideshifters, and extensions. Fork positioners allow the operator to adjust the fork spacing without leaving the cab, while sideshifters enable lateral movement for precise load positioning. Fork extensions are useful for handling longer loads that exceed the length of standard forks. Evaluate your operational needs to determine if any of these attachments would be beneficial for your lift truck.
