Forklift attachments, also known as multi-function devices, are an excellent tool for forklifts to be multi-purpose. It is required to easily replace various work attachments on fork-based forklifts, so that forklifts can adapt to various working conditions.
Forklift attachments are widely used in papermaking, packaging, printing, petroleum, chemical, construction, smelting, electronics, beverages, hardware, automobile manufacturing, warehousing, tobacco and other industries. It is an efficient equipment for automatic loading and unloading, stacking and handling.
The role of forklift attachments
An important means to improve the working efficiency and safety performance of the forklift, and at the same time greatly reduce its damage, is the forklift to be equipped with accessories.
1. High production efficiency and low operating cost
Mechanized handling takes less time than traditional manual handling, reduces labor expenditure and cost, and improves work efficiency. In the same handling cycle, the number of movements of the forklift is significantly reduced, the corresponding tires, transmission gears, fuel consumption, etc. of the forklift are also reduced accordingly, and the operating cost is also reduced accordingly.
2. The operation is safe and reliable, reducing the accident rate
The attachments are all designed with safety devices, so that the clamped (or fork) cargo is not easy to slip off under abnormal conditions, such as the pressure-holding device of the clamped attachments (when the cargo is carried, the oil pipe bursts, the hydraulic system maintains the pressure, and the cargo will not slide off) ; The end buffer device of the side-shifting attachment, etc., reduces the accident rate.
3. Small loss of goods
With the help of the special functions of clamping, side shifting, rotating, etc., the goods can be transported or stacked or loaded and unloaded more safely, thus minimizing the loss of goods. The use of attachments also reduces the frequency of use of pallets (such as palletless handling operations), and its corresponding procurement and maintenance costs.
For example, using a paper roll clamp to transport the paper roll can greatly reduce and avoid the damage of the paper roll. If a forklift without a paper roll clamp is used, the damage rate of the paper roll is 15%. For packaging with a large amount of paper and high paper quality Enterprises can recover their investment in accessories in a relatively short period of time, and the 15% breakage rate avoided thereafter can greatly reduce the production cost of the enterprise;
With the use of the adjusting fork, the forklift driver can adjust the fork distance by operating the handle as needed from the seat, which not only improves the work efficiency, reduces the labor intensity, but also avoids the damage of the tray and the damage of the fingers during adjustment;
Using a push-pull to carry materials and replacing a pallet with a sliding plate is low in cost, and saves the maintenance and stacking costs of the pallet, especially the stacking of goods in containers and carriages, which saves stacking space more effectively. This shows that forklift attachments play an important role in giving full play to the functions of the forklift.
Precautions for the use of forklift attachments
Various attachments of forklifts are mostly composed of short piston hydraulic cylinders, high-pressure hoses, hose winders, quick connectors, circular sealing rings, and special parts for attachments. These parts can be cleaned and maintained with reference to general hydraulic parts.
In addition to the abnormal phenomena such as oil leakage and rupture of the pipeline system, especially the allowable load, lifting height, size of the cargo, the applicable scope of the attachment, and the width during operation should be paid attention to during the use of the attachment. Strictly follow the performance parameter table of the attachment, neither overload nor partial load.
