Big, bigger, BigForks. Forks for the metal industry

9. November 2023 | QualityForks

In the metal industry, weight is not the only factor when choosing the right fork. In this project, the challenge was to transport the fragile load of aluminium coils safely and without damages.

The solution: VETTER BigForks with mechanically machined and bevelled fork blades so that the forks are parallel to the inner radius of the coil.

This distributes the load evenly and without edge pressure, avoiding marks in the aluminium.

An additional coating on the fork blade prevents the load from slipping when braking.
