Learn how push-pull forklift attachments improve efficiency and safety when handling slip sheets in your warehouse operations.

How Push-Pull Forklift Attachments Work with Slip Sheets

The push-pull attachment is designed for handling goods in industries such as food, consumer goods, electronics, fertiliser packaging and plastics.

In Vietnam, demand for forklifts fitted with push-pull attachments is growing because they are convenient and highly cost-effective.

A push-pull attachment is used together with dedicated slip sheets instead of pallets.

A slip sheet is a thin sheet of paper about the size of a pallet, with two tabs – extensions of the sheet that make it easy to handle. Slip sheets are handled by a dedicated push-pull device that can easily be fitted to and removed from a standard forklift.

EP forklifts fitted with push-pull attachments offer these advantages:

  • Clear visibility.
  • Easy maintenance.
  • Long service life.
  • Sturdy, agile scissor (pantograph) push-pull mechanism.
  • Cushioned cylinders for smooth, quiet operation.
  • Adjustable platens that make it easy to move goods in and out.
