Forklift Carpet Poles Uses

The primary use of forklift carpet poles is to move heavy rolls of carpet from one place to another. The pole mounted is mounted to the forklift and then inserted into the core of the carpet roll and lifted allowing for easy and safe transportation. This eliminates the need for workers to have to manhandle the carpet rolls which reduces the risk of injury and increases efficiency.

Forklift carpet poles are not just for handling carpet rolls. They can also be used as a forklift coil ram to move roll and coil materials. Shorter poles will work best when the roll or coils are shorter and taller. The same principle applies, the pole is inserted into the center of the coil or roll and lifted for efficient transportation. This versatility makes forklift carpet poles a great tool in industrial settings where working with coil materials is required.

A third use for forklift carpet poles is as pipe carriers. The pole can be inserted into the hollow center of a pipe to lift and transport the pipe to where it’s needed. This functionality is particularly useful in construction and plumbing industries, where long, heavy pipes often need to be moved around.

Fork Mounted Carpet Poles vs Carriage Mounted Carpet Poles

Fork mounted carpet poles are attached directly to the forks of the forklift by simply sliding the forks into the fork pockets on the carpet pole mount and attaching the safety chain. Fork mounted carpet poles are quick to attach and remove from the forklift, making them a flexible option for businesses that need to use the forklift to handle pallets as well as to handle rolls of carpet. It also allows for the easy use of other fork mounted forklift attachments for other tasks.

Carriage mounted carpet poles are attached directly to the carriage of the forklift using a locking pin. This requires the removal of the forks making this type of carpet pole better as a dedicated forklift attachment since switching back forth between forks and the carpet pole takes some time and effort. These poles are available for both class II and class III forklift carriages. Carriage mounted carpet poles offer a very secure attachment and are ideal for use in high use carpet moving applications.
