4 Surprising Uses for your Forklift

Anyone who uses a forklift in a factory, warehouse or worksite to move and store boxes and pallets understands their value, however, with the help of some nifty attachments, forklifts can become a versatile warehouse tool for moving, lifting, and unpacking a wide variety of materials.

Rubbish Disposal

Forklift tipper bin attachments and dumpers allow you to safely and effectively tip your rubbish, rocks, gravel, or wheelie and recycling bin load.

Shipping Container Unpacking

Although not attached directly to the forklift, forklift container ramps can turn your forklift into a handy shipping container packing tool. The container ramps are custom-designed to access shipping containers and provide options such as self-levelling and pallet truck access. Bi-fold ramps allows the forklift operator to approach the container straight on, while fixed ramps are fitted with pockets on each side to allow side shifting to the container door access.

Drum Handling

You can also sweep or move grain, sand, rocks, glass, mud, leaf debris and many other materials.

Front End Loading

A forklift bucket attachment turns your forklift into a front-end loader!

Pick up large quantities of dirt, sand and other materials quickly and efficiently from the ground and move them into high containers and truck beds. Other front end loading attachments for your forklift include a forklift extension slipper. They are a simple attachment used to temporarily lengthen the tynes of your forklift.
