Cushion saves cash
A leading brewer has solved a costly stock damage problem by fitting innovative load cushions to its gas-powered counterbalanced forklifts.
As the truck's forks entered the pallet of aluminium drinks cans, the impact of the load against the fork carriage was often sufficient to ruin at least one can in every load. Losses were running in excess of £80,000 a year.
A solution was found in the Jayline load protector range. Made from heavy duty moulded rubber, the load protectors fit to the rear face of a forklift truck's forks and absorb the impact of an incoming load. They provide a cushioned barrier between the load and the back of the forks and, as the pallet is picked up, the protector prevents the load from hitting the truck's forks or the fork carriage too forcefully.
