A forklift is only as powerful as the tool at the end of its mast. While forks are standard for pallets, forklift attachments are the secret to handling non-standard loads. By integrating the right attachment, you can lift, clamp, rotate, and push/pull virtually any material—drastically increasing your warehouse’s operational flexibility.
Common Types of Specialized Attachments
Side Shifter (Lateral Displacement): The most essential attachment. It allows the operator to shift forks left or right without maneuvering the truck, saving time and reducing tire wear in tight aisles.
Hydraulic Fork Positioner: Allows the driver to adjust the fork width from the cab. Ideal for fleets handling varying pallet sizes, significantly boosting throughput.
Paper Roll & Carton Clamps: Featuring large, pressure-regulated arms, these are designed to grip cylindrical or rectangular loads (like paper rolls or appliances) securely without damaging the packaging.
360° Rotator: Enables the forks to rotate a full 360 degrees. Critical for waste management, recycling, and food processing where bins need to be inverted for dumping.
Push/Pull (Slip Sheet) Attachment: Replaces heavy wooden pallets with thin, cost-effective slip sheets. Perfect for high-volume beverage and consumer goods logistics to maximize container space.
Why Invest in Attachments? Beyond versatility, the right attachment provides a clear ROI through:
Reduced Product Damage: Specialized clamps ensure fragile loads are handled with the exact pressure required.
Enhanced Safety: Reduces manual handling and the need for operators to exit the cab.
Increased Speed: Tasks that take minutes with forks can be done in seconds with the correct tool.
⚠️ Professional Note: Capacity Management Adding an attachment changes the rated capacity and center of gravity of your forklift. Always consult with Bory Machinery specialists to ensure your forklift remains stable and compliant with local safety regulations after installation.
