Loading and unloading a truck is still often done from two sides. Here the 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 since a heavy vehicle (the forklift) is being used to transport a load. Should the forklift have to make an emergency stop because a person suddenly emerges in front of it, this can lead to falling products and severe injury to the person in front of the forklift.

Big advantage is that the forklift is always working on one side of the truck and, therefore always working in sight. Because the forklift only needs to operate on one side, the space required in the process is freed up and can thus take on another function such as additional pallet storage. Also, the truck will be unloaded and or loaded faster because the forklift makes fewer yards traveled. Time savings can be as high as ± 30% and as high as 50% if two pallets are handled at the same time.

Of course, the forklift and load must be balanced in the extended position and therefore, the ReachForks are fitted by the forklift dealer and or manufacturer. This year Meijer Handling Solutions produces its 100,000 set and with this milestone, we have proven that many companies benefit from telescopic forks and therefore improve their efficiency.
