A clamp that is specifically designed to cope with palletised loads that require splitting for easier handling and storage eliminates manual handling and helps prevent damage.

Responding to the warehouse and logistics industry's demands for a forklift attachment to aid faster handling of palletised commodities, B and B Attachments has launched its Layer Master It is a clamp specifically designed to cope with palletised loads that require splitting for easier handling and storage

The Layer Master eliminates manual handling and helps prevent damage.

The very versatile Layer Master can lift a third of a 2400mm high pallet at a time or alternatively just a single layer of boxes, thereby enabling the load to be quickly broken down or built up by clamping single or multiple layers.

This ensures product is handled quickly and safely with minimum use of resources, said B and B.

The Layer Master can be adjusted for a wide range of products including boxed and frozen goods, glass and plastics containers, tinned products and plastics trays.

As it makes contact with the load on all four sides it requires minimal force to lift, thereby eliminating any possible damage to the packaging or product.

Where multiple layer weights or varying products need to be handled, a special pressure valve with three different pressure ranges can be supplied and fitted by B and B Attachments qualified engineers.

The Layer Master fork lift truck mounted system, can quickly be moved to any location within a warehouse thereby helping speed up the movement of goods in fast moving environments.

It is available in three different mounting types to suit specific requirements and forklift truck fleets.

B and B told manufacturingtalk that the static mounted Layer Master option is already proving invaluable in warehouses where numerous operators need instruction to use the system.

As it is a stand-alone device, operatives require only hand or pallet truck training rather than a full forklift truck licence.

It is a fixed, safe and controlled process providing little opportunity for misuse, product damage or equipment mishandling.

The speed and versatility of the patented system will help companies meet Health and Safety requirements whilst simultaneously increasing productivity and reducing time and labour.

B and B Attachments' Layer Master clamp is set to revolutionise the way palletised loads can be handled.

It is supported by B and B Attachments nationwide after sales service division, which is the largest in the forklift truck industry.
