3 Useful Forklift Accessories for Your Warehouse

Forklift trucks are the work horses of warehouses across the retail, distribution and manufacturing sectors, and may be made even more versatile by investing in the right accessories. Used well, interchangeable forklift accessories can boost productivity and provides you a safer working environment. Here are three of the simplest forklift accessories we recommend owning to get the best performance value and versatility from your forklift.

     1. Tipping Skips

A forklift tipping skip is important if you're dealing with scrap or waste. It makes it quick and straightforward to tip refuse into a skip or bin. one among the most popular choices is a tipping skip on wheels. this enables you to maneuver in tight spaces; it can then be picked up by the forklift, easily carting away your waste.
You'll find different styles of tipping skip available, so search for one that suits you. Start by considering the fabric that it's made from, and make sure that it's suitable for your warehouse's needs. Some are galvanized for a rust proof finish, while others are made up of polyethylene, which makes them safe to use with food.
There also are various types of tipping and release mechanism. Many users like better to use a drop bottom skip. instead of tipping, it opens from the underside , dumping refuse instantly into the bin or waste area below.
For extra convenience, most tipping skips and drop bottom skips are often operated directly from the forklift. there's no need for the driver to get down to use them. This increases productivity, keeping things moving faster.

   2. Forklift Man Cage
​
A forklift cage allows users to succeed in high spaces in a quick, easy, and in particular , safe manner. there is no need for ladders or scaffolding; instead, these cages are often attached directly to your forklift, raising workers up to the proper level.
There are many benefits to employing a forklift cage. they're cheaper and quicker than setting up scaffolding, and are as safe as a scissor lift. Ladders always carry the danger of falling, and wish to be carefully set up to avoid wobbling. against this , a forklift cage is usually even and level, because of the vehicle holding it up.
The cage itself is strong , sturdy, and highly secure. Many include an antistatic, anti-slip base which will keep workers safe. Optional extras, like a safety harness or wheels, are often added for additional security.
