Novice workers with little experience and minimum skills can easily set the stage for disaster. With this situation, the stakes are high, especially when working with heavy machinery such as forklift trucks. Inexperienced operators may not be accustomed to your forklift, (equipment), so, this may increase the odds for product and pallet damage, resulting in unnecessary costs. Thorough training would be the ideal solution, but in the real world, it's simply not always possible to get temporary employees up to speed in time.  The driver may might not be aware that the forks protrude through the rear side of the pallet. It can lead to costly product and pallet damage and injury to other personnel. |

two-way pallet handling or
differing load lengths, and you have experienced damages you can now relax, as there is a simple solution. Extendable hydraulic forks allow the operator to adjust the tines to the correct length at the touch of a lever and without getting off the truck.

Oversized forks often cause product damage and hinder movement. Adjustable forks solve these issues.
