Increased Versatility

•  Attachments like tipping skips or drop bottom bins can allow your forklift to move and dump various materials. They can be used across a variety of sectors including waste management, construction, manufacturing, agriculture etc.

• Hydraulic bucket forklift attachments can be used to scrape, scoop and load various loose materials. A really important labour- saving function.
• Attachments such as forklift hooks and forklift jibs can lift and position long difficult to reach and awkward loads.
• You can also keep your workplace looking at it’s best with a range of forklift yard sweeper attachments. These time and money saving brush attachments will clean huge areas in a fraction of the time that it would usually take.
• You can even move, tow and position trailers with the Easytow towing trailer hitch. This is a versatile addition to a busy work site, steering and placing trailers in a desired location.
•  Apart from lifting and positioning pallets as previously mentioned, with the appropriate attachment you can also perform the same task with drums. There are different types of drum lifting equipment further expanding the range of your forklift’s capabilities.

Improved Safety

• Working at height is something that is frequently done in and around the workplace. Those essential maintenance and repair jobs can be done safely with a forklift safety cage. Personnel can work safely from inside the cage at height performing those tasks that previously would have had a considerable risk associated with them. The forklift safety cage or as it is sometimes known, the forklift work platform greatly reduces the possibility of injury from falls.
• All of these attachments take the strain out of moving or lifting often heavy objects reducing the associated dangers of operator strain and injury.

Cost-Effectiveness

We all want to work smarter not harder and the right forklift attachments will allow you to do just that. Any business wants to reduce risks while at the same time reducing costs. Choosing suitable forklift attachments will go far in helping to achieve those objectives.

• Reduced Damage: Proper attachments ensure that loads are handled with care, reducing damage to products, pallets, and the forklift itself.
• Lower Operational Costs: By using the right attachment for specific tasks, companies can minimise wear and tear on the forklift, leading to lower maintenance costs and longer equipment lifespan.
• Increased Productivity: The efficiency gains from using attachments often translate into lower labour costs and higher throughput, which can significantly impact the bottom line.

Adaptability to Various Industries

• Industry-Specific Solutions: Attachments can be customized or selected based on the specific needs of industries such as construction, agriculture, food and beverage, and logistics, making forklifts more adaptable and valuable across different sectors..

To sum up using forklift attachments tailored to specific tasks not only maximizes the utility of forklifts but also contributes to safer, more efficient, and cost-effective operations across various industries.

It is important to note that a lot of the forklift attachments are also suitable for telehandlers as well. With the correct headstock then telehandler attachments, just like those for forklifts will improve the versatility of your machine.

Attachments can also be made for excavators such as the Big Brush yard sweeper. These brushes add to the versatility of the digger on site so that it can clean up as well.
