Addressing Industrial Core Handling with Certified Equipment
High-volume manufacturers in the industrial paper and packaging sector rely on safe, repeatable material-handling processes to move long paper tubes and cores efficiently. Standard forklift forks are not designed for these cylindrical products, often leading to instability, product damage, and reduced throughput.
To solve this challenge, Plymouth Industries engineered and fabricated a certified 3-, 5-, and 7-pronged lift truck attachment specifically designed for handling paper cores in demanding production environments.
Certified Design Built for Safety and Compliance
This multi-pronged forklift attachment was designed with certification, load validation, and operator safety as core requirements. Engineering documentation confirms controlled load ratings, center-of-gravity considerations, and proof-load verification, supporting safe daily operation in industrial facilities.
Each configuration was engineered to meet application-specific requirements while aligning with internal safety standards commonly required in large manufacturing and packaging operations.
3-, 5-, or 7-Prong Configurations for Flexible Core Handling
Different production lines and core sizes require different handling solutions. This certified forklift probe system offers multiple configurations to match product mix and throughput demands.
Key Features and Capabilities
- 3-, 5-, or 7-pronged probe designs for lifting multiple paper cores simultaneously
- Certified load ratings based on prong length, spacing, and weight per core
- Heavy-duty welded steel construction for long service life
- Engineered fork pockets for secure forklift integration
- Safety chain provisions to help prevent unintended movement during operation
- Custom spacing and probe length options to accommodate varying core diameters and lengths
These features allow operators to move more product per lift while maintaining stability and control.
Designed for Paper, Packaging, and Converting Operations
This attachment was developed for a large-scale operation that produces and handles industrial paper tubes and cores used in packaging, converting, and protective shipping applications. The design enables efficient staging, transport, and storage of long cylindrical products without rolling or shifting during travel.
By increasing the number of cores handled per cycle, the attachment helps reduce forklift traffic, shorten handling time, and support higher production output.
Why Certified Custom Forklift Attachments Matter
In regulated and safety-focused manufacturing environments, certified material-handling equipment is essential. A purpose-built, documented forklift attachment helps:
- Improve operator confidence and workplace safety
- Reduce product damage and handling variability
- Align with internal safety audits and compliance requirements
- Optimize forklift performance for specific products
Custom engineering ensures the attachment fits both the forklift and the application, not the other way around.
Conclusion: A Certified Solution for Efficient Core Handling
For manufacturers handling paper tubes and cores, a certified 3-, 5-, or 7-pronged lift truck attachment provides a reliable, application-specific solution that improves efficiency while supporting safety and compliance goals.
