The 360° fork rotator with clamp and pressure plate is designed for forklifts to grip a cargo frame, lift it, rotate 360°, and dump bulk goods safely and efficiently. This multifunctional attachment is ideal for agriculture, industrial warehouses, and logistics operations where bulk material handling is required.
Key Functionality
- Cargo Clamping – Securely hold a cargo frame or basket using the adjustable pressure plate.
- Lifting & Rotation – Raise the clamped cargo and rotate up to 360° for precise dumping.
- Bulk Material Dumping – Tilt and empty the contents of the frame, such as grains, straw bales, metal parts, or irregular goods.
- Safety & Control – Hydraulic rotation allows smooth operation, preventing spillage or cargo damage.
Typical Applications
1. Agriculture
- Goods: Corn bales, grain bundles, straw bales
- Operation Tips:
- Clamp at middle-lower section of round bales to prevent deformation.
- Rotate slowly ≤15°/s; do not perform rapid continuous rotations.
- Lift bales slightly before rotation to avoid scraping the ground.
2. Industrial Warehouses
- Goods: Metal sheets, pipes, irregular box frames
- Operation Tips:
- Ensure even pressure distribution to prevent bending or rolling.
- Lift cargo ≥30 cm before rotating to avoid collision with shelves or floor.
- Lock the rotator at the target angle before transferring the cargo.
3. Logistics & Loading/Unloading
- Goods: Containers, trucks, bulk pallets
- Operation Tips:
- Leave adequate clearance (≥20 cm) for rotation in confined spaces.
- Use small-angle multiple rotations for irregular cargo to fit inside containers.
- Avoid releasing cargo inside containers; rotate to horizontal angle before unloading.
Safety Precautions
- Always check forklift stability, especially on uneven or muddy terrain.
- Do not rotate heavy or tall cargo in windy conditions.
- Ensure no personnel stand under elevated or rotating loads.
- Keep hydraulic lines away from heat sources or flames.
