Hi All.
We have a small problem in handling 16"x8 mats. The fork length is ok (1800mm) But the difficulty lies with the carriage plate width and the weight of the forks for manual positioning. Anyone out there using hydraulic positioners? ideally we need something that wil spread to approx. 3000-3500mm and fork thickness of no more than 70mm.
