The name says it all: The new fork positioner “View” from Linde Material Handling provides a significantly improved view of the forks, especially when storing and retrieving goods. Thus, it effectively prevents damage to cargo as well as to building components, equipment and trucks. The fork positioner is available for all electric and IC-powered counterbalanced trucks in the load range of 1.2 to 5.0 tons.
Fork positioners have become indispensable in many industrial sectors – for example, when it comes to storing goods accurately, down to the nearest millimeter, on truck loading platforms or shelves. By moving the forks to the left and right, the driver can position the cargo faster and more exactly. Equally important for the safe and precise movement of the load, however, is a clear view of the fork arm through the lift mast, fork carriage and fork positioner. And this is just where Linde’s product management identified further potential for improvement.
The attachment can be mounted flexibly: Customers with individually bolted forks can use the new solution as well, as the fork positioner's crossbars feature three pilot holes each. The fork positioner is delivered directly ex works and is part of Linde’s range of original spare parts; maintenance is performed by the Alwark service.
