Hydraulic Force Control (HFC) Picks Up Prestigious Environmental Award for Excellence

Advertisement - 18 Mar 2010

A groundbreaking forklift clamp accessory, which automatically adjusts clamp force to correspond to the load, has been recognized as a major environmental breakthrough at the Fork Lift Truck Association's (FLTA) Annual Awards for Excellence held on the 27th of February at the Barceló Hinckley Island Hotel in Leicester, U.K. Cascade Corporation's pioneering HFCTM could eliminate a significant proportion of the tons of wasted paper each year caused by clamping with excessive force. Brad Vandehey, Cascade Corporation Product Manager stated that "The globe ships more than 350,000,000 tons of paper per year and excessive clamp force is a major issue. With supply chain estimates for damage as high as 1%, this equates to over $100 million damage, of which roll and core crushing is a notable portion. Early adopters of the product have reported that complaints from key customers have stopped once the use of HFC was implemented."
