Improving Warehouse Efficiency: Our Top 5 Forklift Attachments to Help You Do Just That

A forklift truck can be an invaluable work tool in just about any warehouse. Here's our top pick of 5 forklift attachments that will help you boost your efficiency, keeping those operations running as smoothly as possible.

 

Fork Extensions

On occasion, a longer reach or extra load stability is required when lifting and manoeuvring materials around a warehouse setting. Fork extensions, to temporarily extend the length of your forklift forks, offer the ideal accessory to effortlessly extend the capabilities of your existing forklift truck within a matter of minutes - enabling you to safely and efficiently carry out your lifting and handling tasks. 

Self-Dumping Hopper

With all the design characteristics of standard forklift tipping skips, but with the added feature of an auto-release mechanism fitted to the underside of the skip, these self-dumping hoppers allow the contents to be emptied without the need for the forklift operator to leave the cab. No ropes or wires are required, and no need to dangerously climb up to activate the tipping handle means this tipping skip not only reduces labour time, but provides the ideal solution to safe tipping at height too.

Goods Transfer Platform

The most economic warehouses are all about maximum storage within minimum square footage, and the use of height is crucial to achieving this. This is where the goods transfer platform shines. Supplied with drop down ramps and custom made to suit any size, they offer a versatile and fast solution taking your warehouse efficiency to new heights.  

Push Broom Sweeper

Invaluable for helping to keep the warehouse tidy and clear from debris, forklift push broom sweepers provide a quick, simple, yet very effective way of increasing productivity whilst reducing labour costs. Quickly and safely secured to the forklift forks via T screw clamps, they have no moving parts which means they offer minimal maintenance and service costs with maximum efficiency.

Forklift Jibs (Booms)

A forklift lifting jib attachment can help you to transform your existing forklift truck into a mobile crane within just a matter of minutes. Designed with extended reach beyond the tips of the forklift forks, this hugely popular piece of equipment can help to safely lift and move heavy objects and awkward loads around the warehouse floor with ease.
