Fork extensions safe and reliable

Contact Attachments has supplied a pair of specially designed fork extensions to dedicated provider of components for aircraft gas turbine jet engines, Orange Aero.

David Manuel, technical sales consultant at Contact Attachments, commented: "Our fork extensions offer a safe, reliable and efficient way of increasing the existing length of a forklift fork when handling long or unstable loads.

"When Orange Aero approached us, they were looking for a mechanism that would enable them to effectively handle large pallets up to 1500kg in weight, and after in-depth consultation with the client, we were able to supply a product specifically for this requirement." Contact Attachment's fork extensions are produced from 8mm thick steel pressing, with additional 5mm thick internal steel strengthening plates.
