B&B releases Conveyor Belt Forks from Kaup in the UK

B&B Attachments, the sole UK distributor of Kaup products, has released Kaup's latest innovation, Conveyor Belt Forks.

The product bridges the gap between palletised and palletless handling, by enabling the user to do both.

Although the Conveyor Belt Forks are now available to purchase, B&B Attachments will officially reveal them at IMHX.

Kaup is one of the world's leading suppliers of forklift truck attachments, stationary equipment and container spreaders.

Managing director of B&B Attachments Mike Barton said: “The Conveyor Belt Fork (T180FG) attachment has been designed to facilitate the handling of both palletised and palletless materials, with the intention of saving a customer time and money. The surface of the forks has is an in-built conveyor belt system, allowing goods to be mechanically pulled onto the forks, and set down again in the same way.

“This design allows the Conveyor Belt Forks to be used for handling palletless goods, both bagged and non-bagged, and cartons. Large surface goods which cannot be clamped can also be lifted by this product with ease. This attachment can also handle Euro pallets- both lengthwise and crosswise- providing heightened safety as there's double support for load distribution, on two pairs of forks."

By combining the functionality of two attachments, this product allows the user to move a diverse range of materials with only one forklift. Maximising productivity, the time-consuming changeover of attachments is no longer necessary, so work can be conducted more efficiently.

This product is the economic, cost-effective option for the organisations that use it. It is this versatility that makes the Conveyor Belt Forks suitable for all types of logistics work. Airports and ports, in-plant areas and production facilities are already benefitting from this multi- purpose attachment, outside of the UK.

Mike Barton expands: “So that every customer gets the most suitable product for their application, bespoke Conveyor Belt Forks can be created. They can select from the number of forks, specifying their chosen width, and choose the number of belts they require. Additionally, if side shift or adjustable forks are required, they can be added to the product.

“Conveyor Belt Forks are an extremely exciting product to add to our fleet, and their quality of design and manufacture is in-keeping with Kaup's fantastic reputation. I'm looking forward to introducing it to the UK market, and proud that B&B Attachments will be the company to do it.”
