NEW CAM ATTACHMENTS FORK POSITIONER BOOSTS HANDLING PRECISION AND SAFETY
TVH, a leading specialist in parts for material handling, agricultural, construction and industrial offroad machines, announces today the launch of the PK-TS Fork Positioner, the latest addition to its CAM attachments range. Designed for precision and safety in material handling, the PK-TS offers features tailored for operators of material handling machines like forklift trucks and telehandlers.
CAM attachments, subsidiary of TVH, specializes in manufacturing attachments for off-road equipment. Today they introduce the PK-TS Fork Positioner. This new attachment allows drivers to adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the cabin, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This reduces the risk of injuries and operator fatigue, leading to a safer and more efficient work environment. Additionally, the sideshift function enables precise lateral movement of loads, cutting down on cycle times and enhancing productivity.
Kobe Naert, Chief Product & Procurement at TVH, states: “Thanks to their numerous benefits fork positioners are increasingly becoming a standard upgrade feature on material handling equipment. By enabling precise adjustments of fork spacing, they enhance safety and efficiency in various operations. Operators can handle a wider range of loads with greater comfort, reducing strain and the risk of accidents. Additionally, the robust design of these positioners ensures durability, making them a reliable choice for diverse industrial applications."
PK-TS Fork Positioner Technical Details
The body is designed from 2 C-Profiles for precise guiding of the fork carriers. Equal arm movement is guaranteed by choosing cylinders according to the hydraulic principle of communicating vessels, instead of applying flow divider valves or throttles on the cylinders.
The PK-TS also features a reinforced frame and a scratch-resistant powder coating, the connections between piston rods and fork carriers are made of stainless steel extensions which feature ball eye rod ends. This helps absorb deflections between cylinder, body and carrier which happen in dynamic load-handling processes, especially when moving loads over uneven grounds or under other tough conditions.
Its compact design and low over-height improve visibility and maneuverability in confined spaces, making it deployable for a variety of applications. This model comes as a hook-on version with carriers to install standard forks (ISO 2328:2011). Other models of PK-Series can include fork arms and come either integrated, with or without a sideshift function, or in various combinations of these features.
The PK-TS Fork Positioner is available as of today.
