Paper and Lumber

Paper Industry

The delicacy and weight of the paper rolls present two unique challenges for “pallet-less??? material handling applications. These challenges create a need for counterbalanced lift trucks working in conjunction with highly-specialized lift truck attachments. Other attachments include pivot arm clamps, tower clamps, bale clamps and tissue clamps, all of which are used in different applications based on the size and fragility of the loads being moved.

Lumber Industry

Varying load sizes and shapes, storage and retrieval from wet or dry storage and shifting pallet loads are just a few of the obstacles faced every day. With this in mind, lumber companies demand lift trucks that demonstrate the ability to perform and improve uptime while preserving the end product and maintaining a high level of safety for the driver while operating in extreme conditions.
