Lifting with Rollerforks

Lifting with Rollerforks is a specialized device designed for various types of forklifts that can lift cargo onto containers, storage racks, or loading vehicles.

Rollerforks is an accessory that provides a solution for businesses, factories, warehouses, logistics companies, and distribution centers.

Rollerforks for standard applications:

• Other lengths and capacities on request
• Rollerforks meets all available standards
• The capacities shown apply the forks and not the lift truck
• The lift truck manufacturer must determine the combined Rollerforks and truck capacity.

The new revolution for palletless transport

Meijer Handling Solutions knows the use of pallets for the storage of goods is unavoidable in a company. But what if you want to save time and space by sending your goods to the customer without using pallets? Meijer Handling Solutions introduces the Rollerforks which can be used for palletless handling.

Rollerforks are in fact “standard” lift truck forks with two layers of rollers. When the under most row of rollers touches the floor, it causes the uppermost rollers to ratate in the apposite direction whereby the forks slide under the slipsheet without disturbing the products. When the forks are lifted up, the rollers “fall” downwards and place the products securely on the upper side of the forks, enabling the products to be unloaded in the opposite loading order. The Rollerfork have unique characterisations with regard to the familiar push-pull system.

The characterisations are:

• Investment costs are much lower
• The driver’s visibility is not obstructed
• Products can easily be placed on a pallet
• No extra heavy capacity lift truck is needed
• No hydraulics needed on the Rollerforks or lift truck
• The lift truck can also be used to perform standard lift truck tasks.
• The actual weight of the Rollerforks is almost the same as standard lift truck forks.
• The loading and unloading time is faster than that of, for example, a push-pull system.

Advantages of slipsheets

When you company is faced with transporting of goods everyday, it is important for you to know that there is a way to save money on transport. You can choose slipsheets instead of pallets for the transportation of goods. The advantages of slipsheets over pallets are:

• Lower purchasing costs
• Increased volume and weight capacity available in trailers and containers
• 98% less empty stacking space needed
• Less handling, less administration and less return transport
• Better hygiene and easier to clean
• More ecologically sound
• No return materials

Alternative for the push-pull

Though the application of slipsheets has been a success in many applications, the hydraulic attachment required, the push-pull, is expensive and heavy. As a result, some of the potential advantages are undone. Compared to a push-pull system the Rollerforks offer the following unparalleled advantages:

• Reduced investment costs
• Rollerforks weigh little more than ordinary forks allowing a smaller lift truck to be used
• No hydraulic connaction needed
• Applicable to light weight electric stackers
• No loss of visibility
• Almost no maintenance needed because there are no hydraulics and no lubrication points
• Rollerforks can also be used for lifting standard pallets

A lift truck equipped with Rollerforks is smaller and lighter but has the same lifting capacity. Companies investing in palletless handling for the first time will also find that the benefits extend to the receivers of their slip-sheeted products. The much lower start-up costs associated with the Rollerforks will lead to the acceptance and implementation of similar handling systems by the receivers of the goods.
