Benefits of bale clamp attachments

• Where multiple bales are stacked on top of each other the thin profile of a bale clamps arms allows them to easily knife through tightly compacted loads to allow the easy removal of bales this ability increases operational safety, efficiency and productivity
  • Safety is increased as a forklift operator can directly pick-up a bale load even if it is tightly compacted meaning the operator/employee doesn’t need manually manoeuvre the potentially large and heavy load into a position beforehand so the clamp can grip the load.

How Bale Clamps Benefit industries 

Bale clamps can be used to move almost any baled product in agriculture and farming, which may include animal feed or raw materials in bales before and during processing. Paper recycling and packaging manufacturers can use forklift trucks with bale holders to assist in moving pulp bales during recycling or to handle baled waste at the end of processing. Textile and synthetic material manufacturers can also use bale clamps to easily move products during the manufacturing process or to assist in the storage of finished products.

Benefits of Bale Clamp Attachment

● In situations where multiple bales are stacked on top of each other, the thin profile of the bale clamp arms allows them to easily pass through tightly compacted loads, allowing for easy removal of the bales This capability increases operational safety, efficiency and productivity.

● Safety is improved as the forklift operator can pick up a large bale load directly, even if it is tightly compacted, meaning that the operator/employee does not need to manually manoeuvre a potentially large and heavy load into a position beforehand so that the clamp can hold the load. In some storage situations, bales can be stacked from floor to ceiling and the clamp eliminates the possibility of employees having to climb onto the bales as they may be struck or dropped.

 Rotating Bale Clamp

● Forklifts with clamps allow lifting and transporting operations to be completed in one go, increasing efficiency. There is no need for auxiliary vehicles or handling in the process as the forklift can pick up, transport, and safely lower the bale load in one go, reducing the time required to move each load and thus increasing efficiency and productivity.

● The pressure applied when gripping the load via the bale clamp can be intelligently controlled to apply the correct pressure to provide safe and reliable gripping while minimizing damage to the product. Damage to bales is also reduced due to the variety of clamping pads available for specific applications on the market.

● The bale clamps allow for quick and easy movement of non-palletized loads, which saves on freight costs as the weight of any necessary wooden or plastic pallets do not have to be factored in. In addition to saving freight costs, additional storage space can be recovered as bales are stacked directly on top of each other, removing any pallets from the storage stack.
