Forklift Roll Prong Attachments for Secure Roll Handling

At Materials Handling Solutions (MHS), we offer reliable forklift roll-prong attachments designed for efficient and damage-free handling of rolled materials. Whether you’re working with carpets, fabric, paper rolls, or metal coils, these attachments provide a safe and cost-effective solution for lifting, transporting, and stacking rolled loads.

Perfect for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and textile industries, roll-prong attachments reduce manual labour and streamline operations, ensuring productivity and workplace safety.

Efficiency, Cost Savings, and Safety Benefits

Enhanced Efficiency

Forklift roll prongs simplify the process of handling rolled materials. Designed for precision, they allow operators to pick up and transport rolls with minimal effort, reducing the need for repositioning or manual adjustments.

Example Use Case: In a textile warehouse, roll prongs enable operators to lift multiple fabric rolls quickly, reducing handling time.

  • Time Savings: Efficient lifting and transport of rolled materials.
  • Optimised Workflows: Single-operator tasks that previously required multiple workers.

Cost Savings

Investing in forklift roll-prong attachments eliminates the need for specialised lifting equipment, such as overhead cranes, reducing capital expenditure and maintenance costs. By improving efficiency, businesses can optimise resource allocation and reduce downtime.

  • Lower Equipment Costs: No need for additional machinery for roll handling.
  • Reduced Labour Costs: A single operator can handle multiple rolls.

Improved Workplace Safety

Manual handling of heavy rolls can cause injuries and material damage. Forklift roll prongs securely support loads during transport, reducing risks for operators and ensuring workplace safety compliance.

Safety Features:

  • Precision-engineered prongs prevent slippage.
  • Heavy-duty construction for stability and load balance.
  • Smooth operation to minimise roll damage during lifting.

What Are Forklift Roll Prong Attachments?

Forklift roll prong attachments are specialised tools designed to lift and transport rolled materials. These attachments feature a horizontal steel prong that slides through the centre of the roll, ensuring secure handling. They attach to the forklift’s carriage or tines, transforming it into a versatile roll-handling machine.

Common uses include lifting:

  • Carpets and rugs in warehouses and retail settings.
  • Fabric rolls in textile manufacturing plants.
  • Paper rolls in printing and packaging facilities.
  • Metal coils in industrial production environments.

Forklift roll prongs are constructed from high-strength steel to withstand heavy loads while preventing damage to the materials. They are engineered to comply with the relevant Australian Standards.

How Do Forklift Roll Prong Attachments Work?

Forklift roll prongs are easy to install and operate. They are mounted onto the forklift’s carriage or forks and securely fastened to ensure stability during operation.

Step-by-Step Operation:

  1. Attachment: Mount the roll prong to the forklift using locking mechanisms or quick-connect fittings.
  2. Roll Alignment: Align the prong with the centre core of the roll or coil.
  3. Lifting: Insert the prong through the core and lift the roll securely.
  4. Transport: Move the roll to its destination with precision and stability.
  5. Load Placement: Carefully position the roll and reverse the forklift to remove the prong.

Example: In a carpet distribution centre, forklift roll prongs allow operators to move large carpet rolls from trucks to storage racks seamlessly, eliminating manual handling and improving efficiency.
