The following are a few things that you must be aware of before buying a carton clamp
1. Are you going for a removable attachment?
Choose between a permanent attachment and one that can be quickly disconnected before you purchase a forklift clamp attachment. Without quick connectivity issues on the hydraulics, disconnecting an attachment can take a long time.
2. Do you require an attachment that will handle pallets?
Forklift attachments with carton clamps may take up both loads that are on pallets and those that are not.
3. Capacity and stability
Your forklift’s capacity will be reduced if you add a clamp, and in case you choose a clamp that tips, the weight may have an impact on the forklift’s stability.
Contact one of the forklift attachment experts or use the capacity calculator to get an estimate of how much an attachment will reduce your forklift’s capacity.
4. Updated data plate
When you change your forklift by adding an attachment, OSHA mandates that you obtain a new data plate.
It is time and money efficient to get a forklift attachment from a trustworthy vendor. A dealer can verify that your new attachment can operate safely with your current machinery, saving you the hassle of getting a new data plate.
