In addition to heavier-duty models, MSE-FORKS has also developed special-purpose, narrow ROLLERFORKS® for handling
loading ledges. Loading ledges are specially designed plastic profiles that were developed as an alternative to pallets to hold loads in place.
Non-rigid loads tend to start sagging over an extended period. This is not necessarily always a problem, except when unloading containers. If regular forks are used to remove freight from containers, then the load will probably start sagging. Regular forks would have to be forced under the load, possibly causing damage to its underside. Goods then have to be removed from the forks, but often this is not possible because the load is sagging around the forks. The load then has to be held back in order to retract the forks.
RFC15 Model ROLLERFORKS®
Often loads have to be put on standard pallets along with their loading ledges for internal transportation purposes. This can be quite a tight fit. This is why MSE-FORKS developed
RFC15 Model ROLLERFORKS® to avoid such problems. These ROLLERFORKS® are 160 mm wide, fit easily between loading ledge profiles and can lift up to 1500 kg. ROLLERFORKS® can pick up loads easily even if they are sagging. The specially shaped ROLLERFORKS® tips slide effortlessly under the load and can be retracted easily in order to place loads on regular pallets. MSE-FORKS has also designed special-purpose, thin
hydraulic extensions for handling similar loading ledges and corrugated pallets when goods are not sagging.
