Forklift interchangeable work equipment system – part 2
A wide range of work attachments and special assemblies has been developed, which are mounted on a forklift truck to enable the performance of a diverse range of tasks. This equipment can be mounted permanently or periodically, depending on its application.
Forks are primarily used for picking up and transporting loads placed on pallets. However, they may have specific features, such as high thermal resistance when used during the firing of metallurgical furnaces, as well as spark-proof forks for work in flammable environments, etc. When picking up and transporting various materials, standard forks may prove to be non-functional. In such cases, their modernized replacements are used.
