If you have pallets of equipment that require lifting and transporting around your site but are unable to do so because a standard forklift truck simply cannot reach, then a crane fork attachment is exactly what you need!
A crane pallet fork is a suspended piece of equipment that is used to lift pallets in areas of a workplace that a regular forklift cannot and is available in two different forms; manual balancing and automatic balancing, depending on the user’s needs. Manual balancing crane forks require the operator to adjust the hook position on the forks to suit the desired load, ensuring it is lifted correctly and is not dangerously leaning forward, which brings the risk of the load accidentally dropping. Automatic/self-balancing crane forks, on the other hand, require no manual interference to level the load. They do, however, require to carry a load which weighs 20% of the maximum safe working load (SWL) to work correctly and efficiently, e.g. a 2-tonne crane fork must be loaded with a minimum of 400kg. The automatic balancing feature is engaged by a pressurised gas spring once the load is placed onto the forks. The load will always be in the centre of the forks, ensuring safe movement and transport.
Here at SLG, we supply a range of high-quality crane forks, manufactured with the highest quality of steel by Boscaro Italia to ensure both robustness and reliability. Available with SWL’s up to 3-tonnes, these crane forks are self-balancing, so require to intervention when it comes to levelling your loads. As well as automatic balancing, these forks also feature fully adjustable tines from 340mm to 1600mm in width, with a locking mechanism to secure your desired fork position.
