Forklift Work Platforms

There are many instances where companies have to elevate workers and materials for specific jobs. Forklift works platforms attach to forklifts and accomplish this safely, efficiently, and economically. Forklift work platforms can be used both indoors and outdoors for any number of tasks. Companies routinely use them in inventory management, any number of equipment repair operations, lighting and electrical maintenance, and building repair.

No matter what type of forklift platform you use for your work, there are certain essential qualities every platform should have that you should be on the lookout for. Your forklift platform will have to be strong enough to support workers and equipment without buckling or bowing in the middle. It must have some kind of enclosure as well to prevent workers and supplies from falling to the ground. If possible, addition precautions such as skid-proof decks and toe guards should be built into the design. Last but not least, and Easy Rack recommends you invest a little extra as well in models that screen workers from forklift masts.

Currently we have three major lines of forklift work platforms that are designed to be highly maneuverable and access difficult places with maximum safety and time efficiency.

Industrial Forklift Platforms
These platforms will attach to any standard or industrial sized forklift and can fit through openings as narrow as 3’. A variety of fork sizes ranging up to 6” wide by 2 2/4” thick can access the platform, which is then secured in place by a positive pin locking system that holds it in place. Workers remain safe from the forklift because they are shielded at all times by a safety protection screen that extends vertically from the base of the platform and prevents workers from coming into contact with the mast. Full perimeter rails provide a safe, stable work environment. The unit replaces uses a front mid-rail gate that closes and locks in place as a safer alternative to a gate that could swing open unexpectedly.

Slip-On Style Forklift Platforms
These forklift attachments are designed to reach over obstacles that normally require a boom to access. Much smaller, more economical, and faster than scaffolds, they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor projects that require safe, quick elevation of workers. Aerial platforms further ensure worker safety with skid proof decking that minimizes the risk of slippage, and full perimeter guard rails that feature toe guards and tie offs for lanyards.

Quick-Tach Style Forklift Platforms
This platform separates work space from material storage space by placing workers on one platform and materials on the other. Supported by adjustable vertical supports, the materials platform is rated as 600 pounds capacity. Workers stay inside the safe perimeter guardrails that feature toe guards and lanyard tie offs identical to aerial models. To make the unit super safe, your material handling specialist can have mast protection built into it at the time of manufacture. Skid proof decking, easy and safe access to tools, and skid-free work space make this the most versatile attachment to use for multiple applications.

Fork Lift Attachments Provide Material Handling Diversity & Mobility.

Forklift attachments from Easy Rack are designed to give any fork lift operator a greater variety of uses for lift trucks in both the warehouse and the loading dock area. Special fork lift hoppers, for example can be used to move large quantities of materials, and then used as a self dumping hopper. Forklift attachments include extended forks that are able to give greater support to larger objects when they need to be lifted, and specially shaped forks that allow you to carry particular loads such as 55 gallon oil drums or move snow with a plow attachment.

Other popular fork lift attachments from Easy Rack include:

Hoist & hook attachments

Fork Lift Boom Attachments

Fork Truck Platforms

Fork Lift Extensions

Fork Lift Ram Attachments

The majority of the fork lift attachments available from Easy Rack are designed to refine rather than to reinvent the forklift, and to make it a much more specialized tool that can perform jobs more accurately and more safely. Some items such as protective sleeves for a fork lift are simple plastic items that simply fit over the existing fork to remove the sharp edges and ensure that less damage or injury is caused should the forklift crash into any item or person.

The fact is that no matter what the kind of load you need to lift, there is a special adaptation or forklift extension attachment that can make the job easier. While the standard model of forklift is an extremely capable and versatile tool that offers plenty of value as part of your range of material handling equipment, the fact is that by giving it additional equipment to allow it to carry out a wider variety of roles within the warehouse or factory, you also extend the value that it offers to your business.

The central piece of warehouse equipment is the forklift truck and material handling fork lift accessories!

The warehouse is in many ways the heart of any industrial operation. As the source of equipment, raw materials, and the core of both dispatch and inward handling of goods, any process failures within the warehouse can have very significant long term effects on your whole business. Having a smoothly operating orders system in your business will have a very positive effect on operations, and pay off in the long run in the form of greater productivity and profits.

The cornerstone of efficiency is providing the most appropriate warehouse equipment for your staff in order to make sure that whatever duties they have to carry out can be done easily and without error. Errors causing accidents, injury and damage to product are the greatest cause of unnecessary cost in the workplace, and in general, these errors can largely be avoided through the use of the proper warehouse equipment. Most errors seem to occur when personnel use improper equipment to perform a task, and because the warehouse equipment or warehouse lighting equipment that they are using is ill suited to the job, rather than being a specialist piece of kit, they must compromise on their work, and potentially cause damage.

The central piece of warehouse equipment is the forklift truck. These versatile machines are custom designed for moving equipment and materials around efficiently using fork lift accessories. Fork lifts are the basis for many other pieces of warehouse equipment such as special fork mounted hoppers and even drum hoppers that have been designed in order to make carrying unusual and unwieldy objects around much more simple.

Using the forklift as the core of your warehouse equipment will give you the chance to make lifting and carrying equipment from one place to another easier and quicker. It will be necessary to put wide aisles between any commercial shelving to provide access for the forklift, and this means a larger warehouse is required. Higher shelving units and pallet racks allow for more intensive use of space, but in turn require a forklift with a higher reach, and this has implications for cost and training.

The field of warehouse equipment encompasses a wide range of different items, and while not all of them require specific training for staff, time spent on improving the understanding and safety that can be observed by employees will pay off in the long term thanks to better efficiency, fewer accidents, and a more productive warehouse supplying all areas of your business.

How do you handle, move and transport 55-gallon drums at your warehouse?

When transporting bulky 55 gallon drums around a busy industrial environment, safety should be at the top of your list. With that in mind, you will find it much safer to transport full 55 gallon drums from one place to another using Easy Rack fork lift mounted drum handlers.

Easy Rack fork lift mounted drum handlers have been specifically designed to make moving a single drum from one place to another as safe and straightforward as possible. With the smooth lifting action of the forklift, coupled with the secure grip on the drum offered by the state of the art equipment, there is very little risk of a spill, or a failure of the device. This means that the load will get to its destination almost every time.

Both top and bottom grip devices are available, and both serve exactly the same purpose, although thanks to the additional capacity of the top grip drum handler, this is generally a more popular option. The reason why this is the case, that the drum handler which grips the drum at the top can carry more weight is that the weight is more evenly supported and much more stable in place as it is moved around the workplace.

If you are interested in learning more about drum handling equipment please give us a call at 723-553-1122 or ask our expert online. We will work hard to get you the answers and welcome your call! Thank You!

Fork Lift Extensions Provide Flexibility & Function To Any Size Fork Lift

Work Smart! Making the most effective use of existing tools and resources is the hallmark of prudent management, and this is nowhere more important than in a commercial warehouse environment. By investing in a set of fork lift extensions, you can increase the range of work that a single truck can perform.

Heavy and bulky materials can be extremely dangerous if moved with inadequate leverage or support provided by industrial fork lifts used with extensions. The first and most important use of these flexible tools is to increase the overall length of the lifting arms of the fork truck. You can add a maximum of 50% to the length of the forks, and this will allow your driver to carry much larger and bulkier loads with a standard forklift.

Extended forks mean that items that are loaded onto the truck are much more stable, and are a great deal less likely to tumble when they are being moved. By reducing the likelihood of items falling from the forklifts, you will be able to generally improve the overall safety of the working environment, and reduce the incidence of expensive accidents when items are dropped and damaged.

A wide variety of different fork lift extensions are available from Easy Rack, including specially shaped ones with either a circular or triangular profile. These extensions are designed to make carrying various loads much more stable. Rounded extensions ensure that hay bales and large rolls of material can be moved with ease, and effectively rule out the possibility of items rolling from a regular stock flat fork. With Easy Rack triangular extensions fitted to a forklift, almost any oddly shaped item can be carried securely with ease.
