Triangular Fork Extensions Triangular Fork Extensions

Product Description

Triangular Fork Extensions provide a simple but effective solution for handling rolled product externally such as paper reels, coils, and drums. The triangular design helps secure the product whilst in transit, helping to reduce the risk of the product rolling sideways off the forks. Another feature of the triangular profile helps reduce damage and any potential indentation on the material, compared to the sharp edge of the fork blade.
