The 360° fork rotator with clamp and pressure plate allows forklifts to grip a cargo frame, lift, rotate, and dump bulk goods safely. Ideal for agriculture, warehouse, and logistics operations requiring efficient material handling.

360° Fork Rotator with Clamp & Pressure Plate – Lift, Rotate & Dump Bulk Goods

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

  1. Cargo Clamping – Securely hold a cargo frame or basket using the adjustable pressure plate.
  2. Lifting & Rotation – Raise the clamped cargo and rotate up to 360° for precise dumping.
  3. Bulk Material Dumping – Tilt and empty the contents of the frame, such as grains, straw bales, metal parts, or irregular goods.
  4. 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.
