Greater handling capacity
LIFTING SYSTEMS provider William Hackett Group invested in its warehousing facility, including an extension and the addition of a forklift truck to its fleet.
To further support the company’s growth, ensure on-site safety and efficient end of line logistics, William Hackett contacted B&B Attachments to find a solution to handle its varied range of products.
Following a site survey, B&B Attachments supplied three KAUP 2T160B Fork Positioners. KAUP Fork Positioners provide increased flexibility and a greater handling capacity for every forklift truck.
The three Fork Positioners were specifically designed for the Linde reach trucks at the site, each having a 750mm frame to allow the positioner to work between the reach legs of the truck. The frame design improves visibility over previous models used and allows the original truck forks to be used.
The hydraulic function allows the forks to move closer together or further apart, without the need to manually adjust the forks: this is particularly useful when handling a variety of pallet sizes, saving time, and reducing damage to pallets and products.
William Hackett works technical manager Ryan Phillips says: “These particular attachments give us greater efficiency and flexibility as they are quickly adapted to suit our varying day to day needs. They are an integral part of our operation and have made a big difference to our on-site productivity.”
