Forklift sheet-handling configuration
The attachment is rated for 1,200 kg during horizontal pickup and placement only; it does not tilt. The forklift residual capacity, attachment mass and load centre must also permit the complete load at the working position.

Equipment and intended application
This is a vacuum handling attachment for a separate host machine. The attachment rating and the host machine residual capacity must both be satisfied. Adding the attachment changes the suspended or carried mass and the load centre seen by the host.
Application and integration requirements
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Host interface | Define the forklift forks, carriage or telehandler coupling and the required retention arrangement. Similar appearance is not proof of interface compatibility. |
Residual capacity | Include attachment weight, workpiece weight, load centre, reach and operating posture in the host-machine assessment. The lower permissible system limit governs. |
Utilities and movement | Identify which functions are on-board and which depend on host power. Check hose and cable routing through every listed movement. |
Installation, inspection and service checks
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Integration | Fit and secure the attachment with the approved coupling, verify utilities and check all movement clearances unloaded. |
Handling | Engage the vacuum on suitable contact areas, check indications, then move only within the approved host-and-attachment envelope. |
Maintenance | Inspect the retention points, mounting structure, pads, hoses and cables; recheck the complete assembly after changing hosts. |
Troubleshooting priorities
Topic | Details |
|---|---|
Unexpected grip, motion or control behaviour | Stop with the workpiece supported. Inspect the affected connection, contact area and power or air supply, then follow the installed equipment instructions before returning to service. |
Replacement does not fit or changes performance | Check the component identity and system configuration. Do not modify interfaces or bypass protective functions to make a substitute fit. |
Frequently asked questions
What load applies to ET-AT-METAL-LEG-01?
The attachment is rated for 1,200 kg during horizontal pickup and placement only; it does not tilt. The forklift residual capacity, attachment mass and load centre must also permit the complete load at the working position.
What determines compatibility?
Define the forklift forks, carriage or telehandler coupling and the required retention arrangement. Similar appearance is not proof of interface compatibility.
What needs checking beyond the listed size or load?
Include attachment weight, workpiece weight, load centre, reach and operating posture in the host-machine assessment. The lower permissible system limit governs.
What defines the supplied configuration?
The specified model, listed technical arrangement and accepted options define the product. Project drawings, utilities, accessories and installation interfaces must describe the same configuration.
Information for application assessment
- Identify the workpiece material, dimensions, mass, contact surface and centre of gravity. Include the least favourable item in a mixed production range.
- Describe pickup and placement positions, required orientation changes, handling frequency and the site layout.
- Identify the available power or air supply and any host machine, crane, support structure or interface that must be retained.
- State the destination market and required documentation, accessories and packing constraints so the proposed configuration can be assessed as a complete system.
