At CAM attachments, a brand of TVH, innovation, efficiency and safety are top priorities. That is why CAM attachments is proud to unveil its latest family of fork positioners, featuring the advanced PK-TS model. This attachment is designed to improve operational efficiency and set new standards in productivity, ergonomics, and safety.

Fork positioners: Beneficial from A to Z

Want to increase productivity while ensuring operational safety? How about improving ergonomics and reducing damage? Fork positioners used correctly can achieve all these objectives, making them the preferred choice for material handling machines such as forklifts and telehandlers.

Safety and ergonomics
Fork positioners allow the operator to adjust the distance between the forks hydraulically. The main advantage? They can do it from their cabin seats.

The benefits are numerous:

  • The operator is much more comfortable and less tired because they do not have to get in and out of the cabin to adjust the fork spacing manually.
  • Moving the forks by hand can also cause spine injuries due to the daily strain of manoeuvring heavy forks. The fork positioner prevents this.
  • Due to fatigue, the operator may be less attentive. This significantly increases the risk of accidents, especially when dealing with wider objects.

Hydraulic fork positioning also prevents possible carelessness and complacency with drivers and the accompanying risks.

Productivity
Featuring a sideshift function - a hydraulic feature allowing lateral movement - this device also enables the load to be moved laterally, all within a single unit. Using hydraulic fork positioning saves time and enables faster load cycles. This, in turn, allows the operator to gain time for his core business: handling goods. The actual uptime increases, enhances productivity and creates additional value for the operation. This is why fork positioners are increasingly becoming a standard upgrade choice. Fork positioners offer excellent value for money.

Benefits of the PK-TS

The PK-TS is a versatile answer to a wide variety of medium duty applications. PK-TS embodies the many advantages of a sideshifting fork positioner and is the cream of the crop when it comes to safety, ergonomics and productivity. This model comes as a hook-on version with carriers to install standard forks (ISO 2328:2011). Other models of PK-Series can include fork arms and come either integrated, with or without a sideshift function, or in various combinations of these features.

Stay seated, stay efficient
One of the striking features of the PK-TS is its hydraulic fork adjustment system. As an operator, you can adjust fork distances without leaving your seat. Not only does this eliminate the need for manual adjustments, it also speeds up loading cycles, saving you valuable time.

Two in one
The main feature of the PK-TS is its fork positioning system. However, it also has a side-shift function, allowing the load to be moved sideways. This adds even more flexibility and value for money to this attachment. This dual function reduces cycle time and improves driver safety and comfort.

Precision and flexibility
The precision of the PK-TS is second to none, with precise fork positioning and side-shifting capabilities. 

Guaranteed synchronous arm movement. The attachment features automatic synchronisation. Equal movement of the arm carriers is assured by applying the hydraulic principle of interconnected vessels instead of using flow divider valves and/or throttles on the cylinders.

These hydraulic features provide the flexibility needed for seamless load handling and optimal placement, making work easier and more efficient.

Built to last
When it comes to durability, the PK-TS does not disappoint.

It is robust and designed for easy maintenance, with a long service life and easily accessible lubrication points.

The body features reinforced frame corners and the connections between piston rods and fork carriers are made of stainless steel extensions which feature ball eye rod ends. 
This helps absorbing deflections between cylinder, body and carrier, which happen during dynamic load handling.

Scratch-resistant finish
Thanks to its powder coating, the PK-TS is resistant to stains and scratches. 

Optimal visibility and reach
Designed with a low over-height, the PK-TS gives operators better visibility. In addition, the compact design makes it easier to handle loads under ceilings and in confined spaces. 

Don't miss out on transforming your operations with the PK-TS fork positioner. Discover for yourself how the PK-TS can take your material handling efficiency and safety to new heights.
