Throughout Europe the Kooi Forks are just as likely to be supplied for loading/unloading vehicles, trains and trailers. Abbey comments that loading and unloading becomes safer and more efficient for several reasons: There is less movement of the forklift truck and the vehicle. It is well known that a high percentage of work-related accidents within the forklift truck industry involve moving trucks/vehicles. 

There is also the bonus of a faster turnaround of vehicles because loading/unloading takes place from one side. Abbey says this can reduce lift truck fuel bills by half. Costly damage to vehicle beds can be eliminated as the need to drag the load across the bed is removed with the use of extending Kooi Telescopic Forks.
