Specialist forklift attachments enable fast loading

Beacon Packaging logistics manager Richard Horrocks says: “The attachments provided by B&B attachments are an integral part of our operation and have already made a difference to our on-site productivity, enabling fast and reliable loading, unloading and end of line support. The ease of use and reliable operation of the attachments together with the service given by B&B has been second to none.”

Said to be simply designed and economical, the Kaup Fork Positioner T163SN has symmetrical fork adjustment. Its strengthened design allows Beacon Packaging to increase flexibility and enhance profitability with greater handling capacity of every forklift truck, especially when the width of the load changes constantly.

The robust Kaup Fork Positioner T410Z is ideal for when a large opening range is required on a small construction width.

Also provided to the packaging company is the KAUP Pallet Turnover Clamp T451W. This attachment is designed with high visibility and suitable for all kinds of applications. Used by Beacon Packaging to turn palletised and non-palletised goods, and to exchange pallets from production pallets to transport pallets, this attachment has been specially adjusted by B&B attachments to give additional fork positioning, allowing the attachment to cope with many different pallet sizes.
