FORK PROTECTION SLEEVE COVERS - LTFPS RANGE
FORK PROTECTION SLEEVE COVER
FORK PROTECTION SLEEVE COVERS - LTFPS RANGE
Offering all the benefits and characteristics of our high quality forklift extensions, our Fork Protection Sleeve Covers come with the added benefit of being spray coated with 3mm thick Polyurethane. Unlike rubber coating which can peel away over time, the polyurethane coating is strongly bonded to the fork sleeve, making it very hard wearing and durable. When the polyurethane coating is applied to the fork sleeves, this can significantly help reduce product marking and damage, which can sometimes be the case when using conventional steel forks.
To help provide anti-slip properties, our fork protection sleeves can also come supplied (on request) with sprinkled rubber crumb. Manufactured to conform to ISO 13284 British Standards, our Fork Protection Sleeve Covers offer the perfect solution when it comes to reducing product damage and like all our forklift attachments, will come fully tested and certified to comply with the latest Health & Safety Regulations.
