Forklift trucks have become a mainstay of the warehouse industry for many years. They help to make the industry more productive, safer and altogether more pleasant for workers by fulfilling a number of duties effortlessly. But despite them offering a plethora of benefits, there are some instances when forklifts just don’t quite cut it due to their restricted fork length. But thankfully PalletTrucksUK has the answer.
The company, which is one of the longest-standing suppliers of warehouse and manual handling equipment in the UK, stocks a comprehensive range of forklift fork extensions, all designed to improve forklift trucks’ functionality. Coming in a range of sizes and types, they are ideal for all models and allow for a more effective and efficient working environment.
Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of PalletTrucksUK, said, “Forklift trucks have been at the forefront of the warehousing industry for as long as many can remember. Inherently useful they are used daily by specialist drivers who are trained to operate them in order to aid other workers. However despite bringing a number of benefits, there are some instances where forklifts do not cut it due to the restricted length of forks.”
All of PalletTrucksUK’s forklift extensions are manufactured to the highest quality, but do not command large price tags. Whether businesses simply need to add a few inches to their forklift’s existing forks, or need to completely overhaul the capabilities of a fleet with a number of extensions, they can breathe a new lease of life into the traditional forklift truck.
Forklift trucks allow warehouses to operate efficiently. Generally used for moving heavy goods and supplies from one place to another quickly and with less effort than doing so manually, they are able to reach high-up objects, lift and load heavy items, are relatively ease to take care of and help to keep workers safe by reducing strain.
“Instead of investing a lot of money into new types of equipment, businesses can simply make the most of their existing fleet by making a few simple and cost-effective adjustments – such as forklift fork extensions,” added Phil.
