The perfect fork in seconds

Flexibility and speed are crucial in logistics. The manual telescopic fork ManuTel from VETTER moves load carriers of different sizes efficiently and safely. The length of its forks can be adjusted in seconds. It is robust, durable, and easy to handle.

High time pressure, diverse pallet formats, and demanding safety requirements pose daily challenges for every industry. In the dynamic world of logistics, companies are therefore constantly looking for solutions to optimize their processes while minimizing the risk of accidents at work.

Efficiently extended in seconds

Telescopic forks, enable forklift drivers to load trucks faster from just one side and safely transport pallets of different sizes or even two pallets at once.

Thanks to VETTER's ManuTel telescopic fork, the fork length is manually adjustable in less than a minute. Time-consuming changes of fork extensions belong to the past. Previously, attaching a fork extension took up to 10 minutes (searching, fetching, mounting and securing, dismantling and storing again). The faster ManuTel solution saves around nine minutes of setup time per change. At an hourly rate of $45 and just one change per day, annual savings add up to around $1,620 per forklift truck.

Focus on safety and ease of use

Extending ManuTel is fairly simple: just pull out the fork shoe to the required length and lock it in place with a bolt. The simple mechanism works in no time at all, without any tools or additional hydraulics.

Apart from increased efficiency through quick length adjustment, VETTER's telescopic forks ensure maximum safety during operation. Accidents caused by protruding fork tips or forks that are too short can be safely avoided by simply adjusting the fork length. Since extending the forks takes only a short time, it does not pose an obstacle even in a highly dynamic everyday logistics environment.

Robust construction for outdoor use

In outdoor areas, where abrasive materials, dirt, uneven surfaces, and changing weather conditions make material handling difficult, the robust and wear-resistant design of the ManuTel provides crucial support. Whether heavy building materials or long pipes – ManuTel ensures flexible and safe handling of the load.

The forks have a load capacity of up to five tons with a load center of 600 mm. The wear-resistant manganese hard plate on the underside ensures durability and makes the forks resistant to dirt and external influences.

Where flexibility counts

Flexible, simple, and safe solutions such as ManuTel telescopic forks are indispensable not only for outdoor use, but also in many industrial sectors.

Whether long wooden beams in a hardware store or bulky furniture, non-standard load sizes require flexible and quickly adaptable tools. In freight forwarding companies and warehouses, forklift drivers often have to handle pallets of different sizes. Switching to permanently installed fork extensions is time-consuming and inefficient. With ManuTel, the driver can adjust the fork length to the load in seconds.

Furthermore, manual telescopic forks offer considerable advantages in industry and production, where goods of different sizes and lengths are transported. ManuTel allows the forklift driver to move two or three pallets at the same time, which not only increases efficiency but also reduces forklift traffic on the factory premises.

A safe choice

VETTER offers the ManuTel telescopic forks in two versions: the standard edition with a high load capacity for more robust applications and the SlimLine edition with an extra-thin fork blade for special load carriers and load carriers with a low overall height.

The ability to quickly adapt to different loads and operating conditions, combined with robust construction and easy handling, make both versions of the ManuTel telescopic fork a cost-effective and safe choice for modern intralogistics.
