Maintaining consistent and smooth warehouse and logistical operations is crucial to the bottom line, yet many businesses consider it a minefield when it comes to finding the right equipment for the job. In this blog, we take a look at some of our most popular forklift attachments for the warehouse and logistics industries;

 

Forklift Lifting Jib

Our standard forklift lifting jib can make light work of lifting and transporting loads that don’t require palletising. Boasting a fixed beam length of 1800mm to reach often inaccessible places, it also offers four different lifting hook locations for enhanced versatility.

Safety is top priority at Contact, which is why this attachment comes with a raised height lifting beam giving the operator a clear line of sight, and a lifting capacity determined by your forklift truck’s own capacity to minimise any risks of overloading and reducing wear and tear on the truck.

Large fork pockets enable instant ‘drive in’ fitting for quick and simple attachment to your forklift, whilst heel retaining pins ensure the jib is safely and securely fastened to the lift truck forks.

This piece of kit is invaluable for manual handling tasks around the warehouse, keeping operations running smoothly with efficiency and precision.

 

Forklift Gated Access Platform

Working at height is inevitable in the warehouse, and this forklift safety cage - designed for single person use - comes loaded with safety features to ensure the safety of your workforce whatever the task.

Full length fork pockets offer complete platform stability and the inward opening gate automatically locks when the cage is lifted - whilst the perforated back mesh barrier, anti-slip floor tread with drain holes, harness anchorage points, and in-board handholds and kick rails all offer added safety and security for the user.

Its practical platform size of 1000x1000m is ideal for a variety of tasks such as high-level building repairs or lightbulb changes, and is specifically designed to serve as an emergency means, ready to go whenever you need it.

 

Fork Extensions

Our heavy-duty fork extensions can enhance the capabilities of your forklift offering ultimate flexibility for your logistical tasks. Designed to provide a longer reach and extra load stability, the folded channel design adds extra strength and prevents the extensions from riding up at the back of the fork, and removable heel pins offer ‘drive in’ entry for quick and easy alterations to your forklift.

The value-engineered design of these 6mm thick steel fork extensions offers a cost effective solution without scrimping on performance, quality, reliability or safety - making them a must-have staple for any business in the warehouse and logistics industry.

 

Forklift Hitch 

This innovative hitch attachment is designed to effortlessly manoeuvre trailers and heavy objects with ease.

Its impressive 3000kg capacity makes manual handling large objects a seamless task, allowing for the smooth moving of loads with secure heel retention and a supplied 50mm diameter ball hitch and pin for maximum usage flexibility.

The standard length of 1200mm makes it compatible with most standard forklift forks, and the general ‘drive in’ fork pockets allow for single person fitment to keep things moving efficiently.

 

Wide Load Stabiliser 

This carriage-mounted spreader utilises the forklifts’ existing forks whilst offering two additional solid steel outer forks on either side, meaning wide loads can be handled with ease.

The central frame is high enough to access the existing forklift forks, allowing the pin kits to be opened and the inner fork spread easily adjusted. It mounts directly on to the existing forklift carriage, offering a dedicated solution to your wide load handling requirements.
