press releaseManual telescopic forks ManuTel®: Increasing the fork-lift's efficiency!
Often the mounted forks on a lift truck are too short or to long for a special job. The German producer of forks VETTER met with this need by developing ManuTel®, a manual telescopic fork, which offers an efficient and operative solution.
On the basic fork a shoe is mounted which may be extended if necessary. The advantage for the user is obviously:
The length of the forks can be immediately adapted to the cargo and damage of goods can be avoided. Trucks may be unloaded from the side without the time-consuming search for fork extensions.
Great importance has been attached to ergonomics and easy handling. No more exhausting mounting of the extension. To improve ergonomics even more, a new development is shown on the LogiMAT: The new patented grip-handling in the tip of the extension allows to move and arrest the telescopic shoe with one single hand.
Application area for the ManuTel® is wholesale and retail, furniture and packing industry, forwarding agents and wherever goods with different measures have to be handled. ManuTel® are available for all popular lift truck and can be attached without additional tools.
