LOTRIČ Metrology - Digital Device for Measuring Forklift Lateral Clamping Force

During forklift handling and loading operations, goods are often damaged due to excessive lateral clamping force applied by the forks. LOTRIČ Metrology has developed a digital measuring device that enables accurate verification of forklift fork lateral clamping force, contributing to safer and higher-quality logistics processes.

The digital device for measuring forklift fork lateral clamping force is designed to monitor and verify the forces generated during load handling. By using the device, users can easily determine whether the lateral clamping force of the forks remains within acceptable limits, thereby reducing the risk of damage to goods and equipment.

The device is quick and easy to install, as it is mounted using supporting hooks prior to measurement. The mounting system is adaptable and can be adjusted according to user requirements and different forklift types.
