Hi a bit of a newbie to forklifts and this site so please be gentle.
we currently have an old Atlet 125 t 280LSB Pedestrian pallet lifter on-site and we are looking to convert this from a standard pallet lifter to a reel turning unit by adding a Meyer Paper Reel Clamp.
i know we have the 2 extra hydraulics to run the clamp but i'm not quite sure on the the class of the mount to the cradle and if the clamp and a 450kg reel of paper would be safely within the lifting capacity.
the spec for the clamp are:-
360 degree swivel
lift capacity - 1000 kgs
opening range - 1190 mm
clamp weight - 410 kgs
fits 16" carriage - class 2A

any help and advice is greatly received, cheers.
