Forklift Extension Slippers are specialised attachments designed to enhance the versatility and capabilities of forklifts or lift trucks. They feature a slim profile for efficient use and easy operation.
Key Features of Extension Slippers for Forklift Tines:
These extension slippers meet safety and performance criteria set by AS2359.15 standard.
Zinc-Plated Finish: The standard finish for all type 'FE' Slippers is zinc-plated. This plating protects the slippers from corrosion, extends their lifespan, and maintains their appearance.
Sold in Pairs: They are designed to attach to both sides of the forklift's existing tines. This balanced setup ensures stability during operation.
Locating Brackets: These slippers include locating brackets that help secure them to the forklift's tines. Proper attachment is crucial for safe and effective use.
Toggle Locking Pins: Supplied with toggle locking pins, these pins securely lock the slippers onto the forklift's tines. This mechanism prevents the slippers from slipping off during operation.
Compliance Plate: Each extension slipper includes a compliance plate. This plate displays essential information, including the weight rating, or safe working load (SWL), the slippers can handle. It serves as a quick reference for operators to ensure the forklift is used within safe limits.
High Safe Working Load (SWL) Rating: Extension slippers are designed to handle a high safe working load (SWL) rating. This rating indicates the maximum weight that the slippers can safely support. It's crucial to adhere to this rating to prevent overloading and maintain safety.
NOTE Per AS2359.15, Slippers used for general usage should be no longer than 167% of the supporting Tine's length. If the Slippers are longer than 167%, restrict their use to their specified application.
