Forklift Goods Cage Attachments for Safe and Secure Transport and Storage

At Materials Handling Solutions (MHS), we offer durable forklift goods cage attachments designed to simplify the storage and transportation of goods and equipment. Whether you need to access high shelving in warehouses, transport tools on construction sites, or manage bulky items in retail spaces, goods cages provide a secure and efficient solution.

These attachments complement your forklift into a versatile lifting platform, ensuring that materials can be moved safely to elevated areas with minimal risk.

Efficiency, Cost Savings, and Safety Benefits

Enhanced Efficiency

Forklift goods cage attachments streamline the process of moving goods to elevated locations. They eliminate the need for manual handling or separate lifting equipment, reducing both time and labour requirements.

Example Use Case: In a warehouse, operators use forklift goods cages to transport tools, boxes, and equipment to mezzanines or upper racking, cutting handling time by up to 70%.

Increased Productivity: Faster and more efficient lifting of goods.
Single-Operator Use: Minimise workforce requirements for elevated load handling.

Cost Savings

By using a standard forklift you can lift, store and transport any type of goods eliminating the need for additional equipment like scissor lifts, cranes or hoists, saving on procurement, maintenance, and operational costs.

Equipment Efficiency: Maximise the functionality of existing forklifts.
Lower Operational Costs: Reduce the need for specialised machinery or multiple workers.

Improved Workplace Safety

Forklift goods cages are engineered to meet strict safety standards, ensuring secure transport of goods and equipment. These attachments provide enclosed platforms with safety rails to minimise the risk of load slippage or accidents.

Key Safety Features:

Strong steel flooring for stability during transport.
Safety rails and gates to prevent items from falling.
Durable steel construction for secure load handling.

What Are Forklift Goods Cage Attachments?

Forklift goods cage attachments are enclosed platforms that attach to the forks of a forklift. Designed to store and transport goods or equipment to elevated areas, these cages provide a secure and stable environment for handling loads that are difficult to lift manually.

Forklift goods cages are commonly used for:

Tools and equipment on construction sites.
Stock and boxes in warehouses and retail stores.
Fragile items requiring secure transport.

The robust design and enclosed structure ensure that goods remain stable during lifting, minimising risks to operators and the materials being transported.

How Do Forklift Goods Cage Attachments Work?

Forklift goods cages are designed for easy installation and operation. Once attached to the forklift, the goods cage provides a stable platform for lifting goods to elevated areas.

Step-by-Step Operation:

Attachment Installation: Position the goods cage on the forklift tines the same as any pallet.
Load Placement: Place goods, tools, or equipment inside the cage. Secure loads if required.
Lifting and Transport: Use the forklift controls to raise and move the cage to the desired height or location.
Load Placement and Retrieval: Safely unload or retrieve goods from an elevated location.
Return to Ground Level: Lower the goods cage back to the ground for further use.

Example: On a construction site, goods cages are used to safely transport power tools and building materials to the upper floors of an unfinished structure, reducing the risk of load drops or manual strain.
