Significance of usage of Attachments

Forkfocus-Tire-clamp
Compared to the traditional use of forklift forks to pick up pallets of goods for handling and stacking, the application of dedicated forklift attachments can greatly increase the efficiency of forklift operation and reduce operating costs. Specialized attachments for forklift can perform functions such as clamping, rotating (clockwise/counterclockwise), side-shift, push/pull, overturn (forward/backward), separate/close (adjust fork distance), telescoping, etc., which cannot be done by ordinary forklift trucks. The significance of the application of special attachments for forklift can be summarized as follows.
  1. High production efficiency and low operating costs.
Compared with the traditional manual handling, mechanized transporting takes less time, reduces labor expenses and costs, and improves efficiency. In the same material handling cycle, the number of forklift movements is significantly reduced, and the corresponding tire abrasion, transmission gear wear, oil consumption of the forklift are also reduced, thus the operating cost is also reduced.
  1. Safe and reliable operation, reducing the accident rate.
Safety features depend on the attachment design and application. Examples include pressure-holding devices in suitable clamp circuits and end cushioning on side-shift mechanisms. Confirm the specific attachment’s load-retention features and operating limits; do not assume protection against every hose failure or abnormal condition.
  1. Low loss of goods.
With the unique functions like clamping, side-shifting, rotating, etc. of attachments, goods can be transported, stacked, loaded and unloaded more safely, thus minimizing the loss of cargo. The usage of attachments also reduces the frequency use of pallet (e.g. for non-palletized operations) and the associated purchase and maintenance costs reduced.

Common technical terminologies explanation.

When forklift attachments are installed on the forklift, the original design of the forklift has actually changed, so how will the load capacity of the forklift change in the actual operation process? Will it affect the operation and use of the forklift? Before analyzing the situation, it is necessary to understand the following concepts, which are the factors most closely related to the actual load capacity of forklifts and indispensable factors when calculating and determining the overall load capacity of forklifts.

1, Load capacity
Load Capacity is an important aspect to be considered in the selection process of forklift attachments. It’s about maximum weight that the forklift attachment can safely carry under the given load center. After forklift attachment installed on forklift (mainly counterbalance forklift), the combined capacity of the forklift / attachment, the maximum load capacity, will be reduced for two reasons.

(1) The momenta generated by the self- weight of the forklift attachment offsets part of the forklift’s load momenta.

(2) As the thickness of forklift attachment frame structure is greater than the thickness of the forks, it causes the load center (the distance from the center of the load to the front surface of the forklift frame) to move forward during operation, which also counteracts part of the forklift momenta.

2, Load center

The load center is the distance from front surface of the forklift attachment frame to the gravity load center.

3, Stall Distance

The distance from front surface of the forklift attachment frame to the front surface of the attachment frame ( equal to the thickness of attachment).

Attachment Selection Factors

The factors below support detailed selection and quotation. Send the main requirement first; ForkFocus can help clarify the remaining details. 1) What kind of goods needs to handle: paper rolls, soft bags, drums, appliances, pipes, pallets,.. etc. 2) Cargo weight: (including pallets) , length (in direction of travel) , width/diameter, height. (3) Outer surface/contact surface (external packing materials). (4) Method of transportation:
  1. For pallet transportation: Need to know dimensions of pallet, height of pallet jack.
  2. For transportation without pallet: Need to know the distance between stacks, and number of packages.
5) Specific handling mission / working Environment. How the customer carries these goods: pushing / clamping / rotating (horizontal to the travelling direction) / tilting (horizontal to the travelling direction) / sideways movement / side tilt (along the travelling direction) / Loading at the back of the vehicle / Loading at the side of the vehicle. 6) Customer’s current requirement: How he wants to solve his handling needs? How he wants to improve? 7) What are the limitations in practical application: height, length, width, weight, etc.? 8) Applications of forklift attachment: smelter, construction site, warehouse, special Circumstances…etc. 9) Environmental factors: explosive area, dust, high temperature, low temperature, acidity, sugar, salt, food, nutritional products, beverages, etc. 10 )About forklift truck: model of forklift truck, mast, type of forklift attachment, requested forklift attachment function. The required auxiliary hydraulic circuits depend on the attachment type, functions and control configuration. The examples below describe common arrangements; confirm the actual pressure, flow and control requirements for the selected attachment and forklift. a.. One movement function, for which the forklift is provided with a single additional oil circuit (e.g., lateral movement of the side lifter from left to right). b.. Two movement functions, the forklift must be provided with a double additional oil circuit (e.g. Opening/clamping/rotating of the paper roll clamp). c.. Triple-action forklift attachments, the forklift must be provided with dual additional fuel lines and a solenoid valve device. (Opening/clamping, lateral movement, rotation of the rotating-side shifting bale clamp). 11) Existing forklift or to purchase a new one? (Is there a problem with forklift modification? e.g., adding additional oil circuit… etc). 12) Forklift attachment installation costs (labor, hydraulic system retrofit costs if necessary, corresponding spare parts cost…etc.)
