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. In some storage situations bales can be stack from floor to ceiling, the clamp eliminates
the potential of employees having to climb onto bales where they can potentially be struck or fall
Efficiency is increased as the forklift with the clamp attached can complete lifting and transport operations all at once.
There is no need for a secondary vehicle or action to be involved during the process as they forklift can pick-up, transport
and safely drop-off the bale load all in one go decreasing the time taken to move each load leading to increased efficiency
and productivity
Pressure that is applied when gripping a load via a bale clamp can be smartly controlled to apply the correct pressure to
provide a safe and sure grip whilst causing minimal if any damage to the product
Damage to bales is also reduced due to the wide variety of clamp pads suitable for specific applications available on the
market
Bale clamps allow the quick and easy movement of non-palletised loads this can lead to monetary savings on freight as
the weight of any necessary wooden or plastic pallets do not have to be factored into freight costs
On top of monetary savings on freight extra storage space can also be reclaimed as bales are stacked directly on top of
each other removing any pallets from storage stacks.
