Display Pallet Handler for transporting Euro, half or quarter pallets.
 
The trend of using ever smaller pallets for commissioning goods in supermarkets places new demands on manufactuers of forklift truck attachments.  Thus several years ago two so-named “Düsseldorfer” pallets (or also half pallets) sized 600 x 800 mm had the same outer dimensions as one Euro pallet (800 x 1200 mm). In the meantime quarter pallets (so named because 4 pallets picked up together equal the size of one Euro pallet) become more and more popular. The task that the Aschaffenburger manufacturer of forklift truck attachments set itself was to design an attachment which fulfilled the following criteria:

- transport of 1 Euro pallet 800 x 1200 mm lengthwise and crosswise
- transport of 1 or 2 half pallets 600 x 800 mm lengthwise and crosswise
- transport of 1, 2 or 4 quarter pallets 400 x 600 mm lengthwise and crosswise

The problem was solved by the use of 4 hydraulically adjustable forks of 1150 mm length with a cross cut of 40 x 50 mm. The forks can be opened and positioned with an opening range of maximum 960 mm (measured over the outer edges). As the distance between the forks can be reduced to null, even pickup of single quarter pallets lengthwise is possible with a total width of all forks of 160 mm. See drawing and load pattern for different pallets.

If required this attachment can also be fitted with a load backrest.
