Long reach capability

14 January 2015

Contact Attachments has supplied one of its Forklift Extensions to Telbrook, manufacturer of bespoke clamping and fixture solutions, to enable employees to load, unload and transport products around its premises with ease, and with reduce risk of damage.


Jason Cadman, technical sales consultant, explained: "The extensions are a perfect solution for items longer than standard forklift truck forks and are manufactured from high strength 8mm steel for longevity, with additional 5mm thick internal strengthening plates for extra durability. Not only can they significantly reduce and remove damage to crates and pallets, they can make the job easier and quicker."   

 

The extension offers occasional long reach and stabilising capabilities, and enables the operator to continue to manoeuvre the forklift with ease. 

 

Stuart Beal, Project Manager at Telbrook, commented: "We have recently manufactured a number of fixtures for Rolls Royce weighing over 2300kg, which we then had to have packed into 2.4m2 crates. Before using the forklift extensions, the weight of our crates was spread unevenly and we were often left with cracked or split wooden runs. Installing the extensions unquestionably saved the fixture from being damaged, and allows us to move the products with great ease.”
