Some of America's top furniture retailers have realized substantial operational cost reduction through a simple material handling innovation and others are sure to follow. The simple innovation is the introduction of hydraulic telescopic forklift forks or tines more commonly known as "KOOI-REACHFORKS®" from MSE-Forks, Inc.

They add value as they help reduce product damage, improve safety and add versatility to mobile material handling equipment. They provide operators with the ability to adjust the fork length at the touch of a lever. This means they can extend or retract the tines to match the load at hand, allowing for the best possible stability and safety during transport. This helps reduce safety risks and avoids unnecessary product and pallet damage.

For the same application Manual Extensions can be used as well. In fact, these manual extensions forks are comparable in terms of design with the hydraulic extension forks which, due to their special construction, are designed so they cannot catch on objects such as projecting pallet planks, rack joists or tensioning straps. The manner of adjusting the outer sleeve is highly innovative. It simply involves moving a pin (which also serves as a grease nipple) sideways, causing the locker to be retracted. As soon as the locker is disengaged, the outer sleeve can be moved using the other hand until the locker engages again at the different length.

All the components are integrated into the forks and cannot accidentally get lost as the outer forks and locking pins do not come off. The locking mechanism has a grease fitting to prevent stiffness or sticking due to corrosion within rough environments.


In combination with a so-called fork positioner pallets and other carriers with different widths and lengths makes it possible to shift the forks all the way to either side without protruding outside the fork carriage. This makes container and trailer off-loading quicker and easier especially when dealing with various load sizes.
