Many warehouses have forklifts for moving pellets from A to B, however the trusty forklift doesn't just need to be used for moving pellets. There are many add-ons that can help re-purpose your forklift to be used in a variety of different ways.
Overhead Lifting
If you have a need to lift a heavy object from above and using a forklift would damage the bottom of the item, you can purchase a
forklift jib to lift from above. This devise is designed to attach onto the forks and they can be raised to make a mini crane. Heavy object can be lifted from above with the use of chains or slings.
Transport of chemical drums
If your company deals with dangerous chemicals there are attachments that add clamps allowing for the safe
movement of 44 gallon drums. These clamps attach to the drums top and the bottom allowing the drum to stand upright.
People mover
You may be interest to know that your forklift is not limited to just moving product, you can also use it to move people.
Goods cages are designed to allow a person to get inside of a box while another person operates the forklift. This can allow them to reach products of high shelves putting them in or out of the goods box. The box attaches to the forks making it a perfect people mover. This will allow your employees to safely lift hard to reach products without the use of ladders which can be quite dangerous if you have products on a ladder.
