Komatsu Model Forklift<\/p><\/div>\n

We generally only view forklifts as machines used for transporting material loaded on pallets.\u00a0 However those days are now over!\u00a0 There is a wide variety of forklift attachments available that can transform a simple forklift truck into an entirely different–but useful machine.\u00a0 So what attachments are available that can transform your forklift into something useful for your business? Below are four transforming attachments that any business should know about\u2014as they can help increase productivity, as well as help provide a safer work environment<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b>1.\u00a0\u00a0Forklift Booms<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A forklift Boom turns a normal forklift into a small crane machine.\u00a0 This is extremely beneficial within the construction industry. The forklift boom is mounted onto the bottom of the fork blades.\u00a0 Once properly attached to the forklift, the boom\u2019s poles can extend out and operate similar to a crane machine.\u00a0 There are currently four main types of forklift booms on the market: \u00a0coil booms, carpet booms, shooting booms, and pipe booms. You can Go Here<\/a>\u00a0to review the various booms we offer on our website, as well as learn more about each type of boom available by reviewing the product details.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b>2. \u00a0Forklift Hoppers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The forklift hopper turns your ordinary forklift truck into a small trash dumper.\u00a0 Like the forklift boom, the forklift hopper is also attached to the fork blades, being secured with safety locks, as well as safety chains. Once attached, you are now able to dump and transport heavy loads of trash.\u00a0 Forklift Hoppers have the capability of reaching and tilting the trash out into large commercial dumpsters. \u00a0Click here<\/a> to learn more about the various hoppers available.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b>3. \u00a0Forklift Drum Attachments\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A forklift drum attachment allows a forklift to effectively grip, lift, and transport heavy drum barrels.\u00a0 There are two specific types of attachments available. One is a drum gripper, which makes it easier for the driver because they can grip one to two barrels at one time and easily transport them to another location.\u00a0 Another attachment is a drum lifter, which can easily grip, transport, and release the drum.\u00a0 Please click here<\/a> \u00a0to learn more about the available drum attachments from the product page.<\/p>\n
