Like the scissors or screwdriver on the knife, forklift attachments like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forkliftaccessories.com\/forklift-attachments\/forklift-booms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boom attachments<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forkliftaccessories.com\/forklift-attachments\/forklift-work-platforms-4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">work platforms<\/a> aren&#8217;t designed to replace cranes and aerial lifts, but they are perfect for the warehouse, factory or job site when expensive stand-alone equipment isn&#8217;t required.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever taken your Swiss Army Knife with you on a camping or fishing trip, you&#8217;ve probably found yourself using it a lot more than you thought you would. Didn&#8217;t that can opener come in handy when you needed it? Weren&#8217;t you glad you had it in your pocket when your fishing line got tangled?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the sort of thing that happens with forklift attachments. A ceiling light bulb goes out. Replacing it can be such a headache, you keep putting it off. If you have a folding work platform tucked away, though, the job can be safely done in a matter of minutes. You&#8217;ll find so many uses for your forklift boom, you&#8217;ll wonder why you didn&#8217;t buy one earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Some other forklift attachments that can turn your forklift into a Swiss Army Knife include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forkliftaccessories.com\/forklift-attachments\/forklift-sweepers-brush-broom.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sweeper<\/a> attachment<\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forkliftaccessories.com\/forklift-attachments\/forklift-drum-attachments.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drum attachment<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forkliftaccessories.com\/forklift-attachments\/forklift-carpet-poles-coil-rams.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coil ram<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forkliftaccessories.com\/forklift-attachments\/other-forklift-attachments.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">front loader attachment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll probably use the sweeper attachment every day. The others, maybe not so often, but you&#8217;ll appreciate having them handy when you do need them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ultimate Swiss Army Knife<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 333px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmag.com\/bae-systems-terrier\/27819\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  \" src=\"https:\/\/images.gizmag.com\/gallery_lrg\/bae-systems-terrier.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ultimate Swiss Army Knife. Click image for source story on gizmag.com.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Are forklift attachments not enough for you? Do you want an all-purpose vehicle? Well, if you can afford it, get yourself a Terrier combat engineer vehicle. This little baby has been called the Swiss Army Knife of the Battlefield. It looks a lot like a tank, but comes with a bucket and excavator and has attachments that can turn it into a forklift, a drill and a heavy lifter. Even better, it can be remote controlled.<\/p>\n<p>The downside to the Terrier for the average (or even larger than average) workplace is that it weighs 32 tons and definitely wouldn&#8217;t replace a narrow aisle forklift. Unlike your forklift attachments, it will probably take a long time to pay for itself, too, and you probably won&#8217;t need to use the machine gun that comes as a standard accessory.<\/p>\n<p>Come to think of it, you&#8217;ll probably get a lot more use out of forklift attachments than you&#8217;d get from a Terrier. Just goes to show that having the biggest and most expensive isn&#8217;t always the best idea. Sometimes a Swiss Army Knife is perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generations of Americans received their first Swiss Army Knives for Christmas and discovered how versatile they are.
