Get your forklifts ready for severe winter weather conditions

3 minutes to read

When severe winter conditions hit, such as snow and ice, this can cause serious issues when operating your forklift trucks. To keep your working environments clear and safe, you can consider a range of attachments. From clearing snow, to keeping surfaces regularly gritted and free from ice, there is an attachment that will do the job.

Forklift attachments that enhance efficiency and ensure smooth operations:

Snow Plough

The fork-mounted snow plough can be highly effective in clearing freshly fallen or compacted snow in yards and on roads during the winter months. It mounts to any standard forklift, and is easy to install and remove. It is manufactured of extra high grade steel with a design that puts most pressure on the forklift mast. It is suitable for wide-open spaces.

Snow Bucket

The fork-mounted snow bucket can be used to shovel large amounts of snow in yards, and on roads to clear areas for safer and more efficient working conditions during winter. It is suitable for more precise positioning of snow stacks and/or when surface is gravel or dirt. It is easy to mount on fork arms, and secured with chain round the mast.

Spreader

Investing in a spreader attachment is a great investment when cold icy conditions hit. It allows you to convert your forklift truck quickly and easily for the winter service. The spreader is available in two different variations, and is suitable for spreading salt as well as sand. This will enable you to spread grit in your operating area to make sure the conditions in which your forklift is operating are safe.

Snow Chains

The reinforced snow chains are sold in pairs, and are the perfect choice when you need the durability and functionality of a snow chain. It has an innovative groove profile for increased traction. The welded rings ensure a stable connection between the chain and the side chains, and has been specially adapted to the requirements of forklift trucks, and ensures a long lifetime.

Operator accessories

As well as attachments for your forklift, we also provide some accessories that can keep your operators safe and comfortable when operating your fleet of forklifts:

  • A form-fitted seat cover increases the life length on the back and seat cushion, providing added comfort and protection from damp.
  • A heated seat cover, with integrated lumber support and overheat protection. It offers two heat levels; permanent or fast heat-up.
  • A interior heater, ideal for small and medium sized trucks. It helps keep windows free of ice and condensation, ensuring increased safety.
