Types of Cutters for Forklifts

At the moment there is a wide range of Cutters for forklifts, divisible into several types. The division is rather conditional and depends on what additional features are becoming handling technique when using this equipment. Next species represented Cutters.

The first type of classified Cutters, not add new features forklifts, and slightly extending their functionality. For example, side-shifter (English sideshifter), he positioner - a device for lateral shift. This device does not add forklift additional functions, but only enhances the core of his appointment - the capture, recovery in the crotch. This device helps move goods in horizontally (left or right). The presence of side-shiftera allows forklift to move goods in three planes simultaneously.

Other modifications positioners are designed for different environments. For example, with increased cross-movement, to work with containers for loaders with a mobile tower, or to move barrels. Using saydshiftera allow the loader operator to work more efficiently. Unlike Europe, where these devices are used on forklifts very often in Russia device horizontal displacement have not been very popular.

The second type Cutters include devices that extend the standard functionality of new forklift. Examples of such devices can serve as extensions Fork, stabilizers goods and clips device oprokidyvateli and stalkivateli, turning tools. The latter, for example, you can move different containers with liquid and bulk cargo, as well as empty or the discharge of their contents. There are rotary devices with different angles of rotation.

The third type Cutters include devices that help pogruzchiku perform the functions for which he was originally not intended. Such devices as a hostage to the coils and tubes, hostage for tires and wheels, buckets, piles, Enhancers Fork to move several pallets help forklifts to work with goods with which to cope with the help simply can not Fork. To date, developed a lot of interesting species Dozers such, which can almost beyond recognition change your forklift. An example is the telescoping boom, which makes forklift in the crane.

I want to reiterate that such a classification Cutters is a relative, and some equipment for forklifts can be used in conjunction with others, to further enhance functionality.

World statistics on the use of loading equipment suggests that 80% of forklifts are used with the application of additional Cutters, and accounted for most of the components such as saydshiftery, as well as hostage to roll. The situation in Russia about the same, but with the only difference being that the same side shiftery little used because they facilitate the work of the driver loader, but not add new functions of the machine. Therefore, the owners of forklifts in no hurry preobretat them and install its equipment.

Today, some companies often produce their own forklifts and Cutters - other manufacturers. Some companies offer enhanced functionality to its technology, but as a rule, these devices are already built into the design of the forklift. A wide range of Cutters offer companies that specialize exclusively on its design and production: Auramo, Dimex, Koyo, Stabau. The largest European manufacturers are considered Kaup, Cascade.

Cost Cutters depends on the popularity of the brand manufacturer. However, this was due to more marketing and better organization of network sales. Quality same equipment firms such well-known, virtually no following. This affects the difference in price - about 5% -15%.

Cutters, which adds new features forklift (multiple seizures, for example) is quite expensive - between 30% and 80% of the value of the machine, but the production costs of such equipment is much lower, as well as the complexity of its design.

As we stated earlier, hinged equipment to be installed at podvilochnuyu plate loader can be divided into two types: a built-producer and a built - a third-party manufacturer. Equipment that is already installed on a forklift manufacturer, is a modified design of the carriage, or even the entire lifting mechanism. Such equipment can not be moved to another shipper. But they, in turn, more reliable, cheaper and contributes to the lower loss-duty vehicles. Therefore, many manufacturers offer models as already installed additional equipment as well without him.

Dimensions podvilochnoy plates are standard for each class of forklifts. Therefore Cutters can be freely set on the model of a class (to lift) from various manufacturers.

It should be remembered that when you install Cutters reduced capacity on the loader. This occurs for several reasons: the equipment itself has a certain weight, and as a result of the modernization of the center of gravity of the machine moves. Therefore, Forklift at 1 ton, for example, when you install to capture rolls, loses lift in the 200-250kg.

Selecting Cutters for forklifts - the challenge very seriously and not as easy as it might seem at first glance, because it must take into account a lot of factors besides the weight of cargo. First, we need to take into account the type or material goods: the drum rolls, containers, so that seizure was not damaged goods, because in excessive pressure on the seizure of the goods may be deformed. Secondly, you need to understand the dimensions of the most moving of cargo, as well as the size and characteristics of storage facilities or sites where the work will take place, as well as installing additional equipment may decrease the turning radius forklift. And maybe even have a situation where the machine will not be able to travel in a narrow place. And thirdly, you need to decide is whether the Cutters used constantly or once in a while. The final choice of equipment depends on the specific conditions of each place and loading equipment to be used. In this regard, it is desirable to contact the seller of equipment with as much information as possible about the conditions of work, to choose the most effective solution.
