Forklift Pole

What Is a Forklift Pole Used For?

A forklift pole is an indispensable attachment for handling cylindrical loads such as rolls, coils, or reels. This equipment allows you to quickly transform a forklift into an effective tool for transporting and stacking this type of load. By sliding the pole into the core of the load, movement becomes both safe and easy, reducing the risks of imbalance and damage.

A forklift carpet pole is particularly useful in industrial contexts where precision and safety are paramount. This stacker attachment facilitates significant time savings while minimizing the risk of accidents on industrial sites. Equipped with a locking system on the forks, it ensures secure fastening for safe and rapid handling.

In Which Industries Is Such a Stacker Attachment Useful?

A stacker pole is useful in various industrial sectors, mainly those that handle rolls or coils. Here are some examples of activities that can benefit from this forklift attachment:

Paper Industry: Transporting large paper rolls

• Textile: Handling fabric coils
• Floor Coverings: Manipulating rolls of carpet, vinyl, etc.
• Cable Industry: Handling cable reels
• Plastic Film Industry: Manipulating film rolls
• Metallurgy: Transporting metal sheet rolls (check the weight!)

This attachment is also used by logistics and packaging companies. They benefit from the great flexibility and ease of handling offered by a pole during the loading and unloading of goods.

Like box turners, it is a specialized stacker attachment.
