Side Shift Forklift, side Forklifts
A side shift is a forklift attachment that makes laterally moving materials easier for forklift operators. In spaces where manoeuvring a forklift isn’t feasible, the right side shift forklift attachment can not only pick up the pallet loads but also transport them with ease while ensuring increased productivity and reduced cost and material handling time.
The Benefits of a Side Shift Forklift Attachment
Side shift forklift attachments prove to be a boon for a number of reasons, making them much sought-after by those in the material handling industries.
- With the ability to manoeuvre the equipment in narrow spaces, more of the space can be utilised, ensuring optimal usage.
- Loading and unloading of pallet loads is quicker with a side shifter, increasing productivity and reducing the handling time.
- By making narrow spaces more accessible, side shift attachments reduce the possibility of wear and tear and damage on forklifts.
- The chances of pallet loads being damaged when handled is greatly reduced with a fork attachment that makes manoeuvring easy.
