Thank you everyone for all of the replies. I appreciate all of your thought and time.

My product is grips that quickly attach to the ends of the forks. They solve the common problem of forks being too short and too slippery to unload cargo that is barely within reach. They allow cargo to be dragged closer to the edge of the truck by using just the tips of the forks without the cargo slipping off. With the cargo closer, the forklift is now able to reach safely under the load to easily remove it from the truck.

These grips reduce the need for someone to climb onto the truck to help the cargo off the truck. This will lower the number of injuries caused by falls from the truck, and also reduce muscle and back strains from pushing or pulling the cargo to help the forklift driver.

These grips also make unloading trucks quicker and easier because there is no need to get chain, or pallet jacks for loads that are just within reach of the forks. Simply slip the grips onto the tips of the forks, the forks will now grip the underside of the cargo and it can be dragged closer to the edge so it can be easily removed.

I don't think I am allowed to give the name of the product on this forum. I don't know if I am allowed to give links that show the product in use either. However, there is video of these fork grips available at many of the popular video sharing web sites. A quick search at those sites should allow you to see them in action.

I have used them for quite a while to help unload trucks since we don't have a dock. I just recently decided to patent the idea and start selling them.

I am having some success finding distributors in the U.S.A. but I want to develop markets in other countries.
