If your lift truck is just lifting, you're losing. Today's lift trucks are more sophisticated and more efficient than ever. But unless they have the right attachment up front then you are still losing time, money and safety.
If the loads you handle are not uniform then you need a fork positioner. Fork positioners are hydraulically actuated forklift attachments that can move both forks to the left or right, toward each other or spread them apart to fit into any pallet pocket. So if the width of a load changes, the driver can easily change the fork width in a matter of seconds, right from his seat. That's right: fast, easy and accurate fork positioning right from the drivers seat.
Advantages are clear:
~ Driver safety
~ Product and pallet damage due to accurate fork positioning
~ Improved productivity by allowing driver to adjust forks without getting off of the truck
~ Reduced cycle time because the driver can position loads without repositioning the forklift.
Most fork positioners provide a return on investment in less than a year. In fact, we have done studies that show that if an operator gets on and off the truck to adjust forks a minimum of 12 times per shift, and it typically takes 3 minutes each time, payback is about nine months. Go to our ROI calculator at www.cascorp.com/products/forkpositioners to see how you'll have a return on your investment.
Let a Cascade fork positioner do the work for you.
