We will be closed from December 23 through January 3, 2025, due to the Christmas and New Year vacations. We will resume our normal business activities on January 6, 2025. Thank you for your understanding.
Not every company uses only standard pallets. Companies working with various pallet sizes need a flexible system to ensure the correct fork length for forklifts. In fact, incorrect fork lengths can lead to damage and potentially dangerous situations, possibly resulting in injury. It is common to see markings on the forks, improvised pallet-stopping methods, or manual sleeves. However, all these options are not ideal and still require significant skill from the driver and manual labor, meaning the operator must often leave the forklift, which costs time and can also be dangerous.
KOOI® ReachForks, which are hydraulically extendable, allow users to adjust fork length as needed. Normally, with telescopic forks, there are two positions: retracted and extended. Now, with the unique KOOI® ReachControl system, different fork lengths can be set to suit specific pallet sizes. This is made possible by an advanced “length measuring system” and an accompanying app, in which one can record various pallet sizes. When the forks are extended, the ReachForks automatically stop once the preset pallet size is reached. After reaching the preset length, a different length can be selected again. The ReachControl is a very user-friendly system and significantly improves the work process.
Forklift forks that are too long or too short can cause serious damage to products, not to mention accidents. With short forks, the load can fall forwards, and with long forks, the load can also fall from the back. If there are bystanders walking close to the load, it could even lead to accidents. These are situations you would prefer to avoid, and ReachControl can contribute to preventing them.
A forklift driver must always be aware of potential hazards because they operate a heavy machine. If a driver is also tasked with handling different pallet sizes without causing damage, they will proceed more cautiously than if they were always handling the same pallet size. The ReachControl provides the forks with the correct length, allowing the driver to operate without being extra vigilant to avoid damage.
Within a warehouse, different pallets may be present, but the forklift forks have a fixed size. If the pallet is larger than the forks, the forklift driver must carefully insert the forks into the pallet pockets and ensure that the forks do not protrude from the back of the pallet. Therefore, the ability to drive without causing damage depends entirely on the driver, while ideally, the driver should be relieved of this kind of responsibility.
Using forks that are either too short or too long can lead to severe product damage and accidents. If the forks are too short, the load may fall forward, while too long forks can cause the load to fall from the back. This can be dangerous, especially if there are bystanders nearby.
KOOI® ReachControl is a system that allows the length of hydraulically extendable forks on forklifts to be adjusted for different pallet sizes. The system uses an advanced “length measuring system” and an accompanying app where various pallet sizes can be recorded. The forks automatically stop once the preset length is reached, enhancing safety and efficiency.
The benefits of using KOOI® ReachForks with ReachControl include increased safety, reduced risk of product damage, and an improved work process. The system allows the fork length to be automatically adjusted to the pallet size, reducing the risk of accidents and damage. Additionally, the driver can operate more efficiently without needing to be overly cautious.
It is important to use the correct fork length to prevent the load from shifting or falling, which can cause product damage and accidents. The correct fork length ensures that the load remains stable during transport, improving the safety of both the driver and bystanders.
The KOOI® ReachControl system helps reduce accidents by automatically setting the correct fork length for different pallet sizes. This eliminates the need for the driver to manually check and adjust the fork length, reducing the risk of errors. The system ensures that the load is always handled correctly, contributing to a safer working environment.
