4 Bolzoni Auramo Forklift Attachments to Upgrade Your Food & Beverage Industry Operation

Whether you’re managing food manufacturing operations or running a brewery, businesses in the food and beverage industry have unique heavy equipment needs. In today’s blog, the material handling experts at Voss Equipment discuss four Bolzoni Auramo forklift attachments that can take your business to the next level.

Multi-Pallet Handlers

What’s better than moving one pallet? Moving multiple pallets at the same time! Bolzoni Auramo multi-pallet handler forklift attachments enable soft drink industries, breweries, mineral water bottling plants, and other food and beverage industry businesses to upgrade their Yale forklifts with 2/1, 3/2/1, 4/2, 4/3/2, 8/6, and 6/4/2 pallet handlers. Not only will these attachments dramatically reduce handling time and increase worker productivity, but they can help reduce overhead costs during storage, loading, and unloading.

Push Pulls

If your food and beverage business is trying to save money by switching to slip sheets instead of pallets, Bolzoni Auramo push pull forklift attachments make it possible. Dedicated push pulls are permanently fixed on the forklift carriage, which means they work best for customers with enough demand for a dedicated lift truck. For customers switching between palletized and non-palletized loads, fork-mounted “Easy Rider” push pulls allow you to convert a conventional lift truck with forks into a machine specially equipped to handle slip sheet loads.

Sideshifters and Fork Positioners

When it comes to safety and efficiency, you can’t go wrong with side shifters and fork positioners. Bolzoni Auramo hook-on sideshifter attachments can be installed on a standard lift truck carriage to enable the forklift operator to move the forks laterally from left to right. In other words, you can move the fork carriage without moving the whole forklift. This helps operators more precisely position cargo during loading and unloading and is especially helpful when shifting loads in tight spaces. Fork positioners allow lift trucks to accommodate pallets of different dimensions, changing the centre-to-centre distance and increasing safety and efficiency.

Rotators

If you have a food processing operation, your work cycle likely requires inverting and/or dumping containers. Bolzoni Auramo rotators and invert-a-bin forklift attachments offer 360-degree rotation for smoothly handling and rotating tote boxes, plastic, wooden, or metal bins, and other containers. Some models even allow the lift truck to be used as a normal forklift when the top arm is at maximum opening.
