Side Shifters |
|
|
|
Sideshifters are the most common additional attachment encountered on
forklift trucks. The sideshifter allows lateral shift of the load,
taking the truck capacity into account, of +/- 100 up to +/- 160 mm. In
special execution the so called container sideshifter is available which
allows a wider side shift (Possible restrictions in the capacity set by
the truck manufacturer should be taken into account). Due to the wide
distribution of the sideshifter as an attachment, it is increasingly
supplied for integrating into the mast i.e. replacing the fork carriage |

Multi-side Shifter |
|
|
Multi
Sideshifters are attachments which are, to a large extent, the most
common attachments encountered in brickworks. According to the execution
they allow the pick up of two, three or even four transport units. The
application of the forklift trucks is therefore considerably
rationalized. Kaup Multi Siedeshifters have a basic sideshift, with
which the whole load can be pushed on to the fork carriage. The two,
three or four additional fork carriages are either all, or singly,
moveable hydraulically. Consequently this allows the moving together or
apart of the units.
The Multi Sideshifters should only be applied where always the exact
number of transport units will be picked up, other wise the load would
be off center and damage to the mast could occur. |

Fork Positioner |
|
|
After sideshifters
the most popular attachments for forklift trucks are Fork Positioners.
They are an important supplement of the forklift truck especially where
the width of the load constantly changes. Adjustment of the distance
between forks to accommodate different widths is a important aspect of
safeguard in this kind of operation. Kaup realises the importance of
these attachments and has therefore three different ranges in its
programme.
The range T 163 SN:
Inexpensive, simple Fork Positioner with absolutely symmetrical fork
adjustment via positive synchronism over a roller chain. The original
forklift truck forks can be used. The construction width and therefore
the opening range of the attachment is not dependent on the width of the
fork carriage of the forklift truck. Also available without sideshift (T
163 N).
The range T 466: extremely variable concept with a total of four
different executions
T 466 - hook on construction allowing the use of the original
truck forks
T 466 Z - hook on cunstruction with forks welded on
T 466 I - integrated construction allowing the use of the original
truck forks
T 466 IZ - integrated constructions with forks welded on
Especially the both integrated versions with welded on forks offer an
excellent residual capacity. The hook on versions are also available
without sideshift.
The ranges T 411 Z, T 411 BZ, T 411 BZI:
Fork Positioners for extremely tough operation. The T 411 Z range of
Fork Positioners is based on the T 400 Clamp range. The forks can be
opened further than the construction width of the clamp body. Due to the
large profile covering between fork guide and clamp body, spreading
forces e.g. for the transportation of coils or cable drums, can easily
be done. Separate sideshift enables the load to be handled with the
forks fully opened or closed together.
The BZ and BZI executions have the so called valve block sideshift. (No
sideshift possible when the forks are opened to the widest position).
The size of the sideshift is a function of the distance between forks.
This execution is standard conception for large opening ranges - zo ti
4400 mm measured over the outer edges of forks. The BZI versions is for
integrating into the mast instead of a fork carriage to achieve even
better residual capacities. |

Multi-pallet Handlers |
|
|
Multi Pallet Handers
Multi Pallet Handers are, as with multi sideshifters, specific for
transporting several pallets or transport units simultaneously. Contary
to the Multi sideshifters the forks of the forks of the Multi Pallet
Handlers can be moved together or spread apart as required. Therefore a
center pick up of the load is guaranteed. Multi Pallet Handlers are
indispensable for rational inner company transport where palletized
goods have to be moved. Initially they were found in the Brewery,
Mineral Water and Bottling Industries. Today they are can be found in
even larger numbers but are also becoming more and more popular in other
branches. Please orientate yourself with the selection criteria
according to the following scheme.
The basic execution of the Kaup Rotator is equipped with a fork carriage
and forks. It can be rotated 360° endless. Containers with a slip in
underlay can be turned for emptying. Original truck forks with normal
widths can be fixed by means of square stops. Included in the delivery.,
which are bolted onto the lower carriage bar. Bolt holes in the stops
offset to all four sides for safe fixing. This is the range of the
highest load strain during rotation . KAUP Rotators are part of the
range of the KAUP modular systems combination of rotating attachments.
KAUP Rotators, with and without sideshift, are also available in
Explosion Proof execution with PTB certification. |

Clamps |
|
|
The family of KAUP
Clamps
An essential feature of all KAUP volume attachments is a consequently
constructed modular system which allows the combination of Sideshifters.
Clamps and Rotators. The KAUP Clamp range 400 was fromulated in the
middle of the 80’s and, from the beginning, took into account all
regulation laid down by the European Community in 1986 (EEC 86/663). The
clamp bodies in the 400 range differ in construction only in capacity
and in widths.
Fork Clamp T 411
The Fork Clamp as an additional attachment can be found relatively often
on forklift trucks. They are used for the transportation of palletised
goods as well as for clamping purposes. Slip on arms in different
execution. Easily turn the Fork Clamp into a special clamp.
KAUP-Fork Clamps are also available in Explosion Proof execution with
PTB certification.
Harbour Clamp
The Harbour Clamp is a special version of the Fork Clamp. The carrying
part of the fork, in addition to the normal tapering to about 2/3 of the
fork length, is also tapered in the fork width. This makes it possible
to also pick up transport goods in bales stored tightly next to each
other. Attachments are standard equipped with protection of cylinders
and sideshifter.
On the Fork Clamp with Turnable Forks, the carrying part of the forks is
turnable by +/- 90°. Therefore the Fork Clamp with Turnable Forks is
suitable for fork operation (transport of palletised goods, grate boxes
etc.) as well as for clamping of bales, boxes and cartons. If the
carrying parts are tuned only 45 ° a prism is formed which allows easy
transportation of drums or other cylindrical objects. Therefore the Fork
Clamp with Turnable Forks is a very versatile attachment. Turning of the
carrying parts can be done manually (standard as well as hydraulically
(additional hydraulic circuit via solenoid valve required).
Block Clamps T 412 V clamp arm max. 1200 mm
The Block Clamp grips the packets of blocks / bricks form the side and
therefore requires a bit more free space compared to the overhead Block
Clamp. The clamping arms of this execution are executed with an easily
exchangeable polyurethane wear and tear bar in order to reduce the
friction between the clamping arms and the load as well as prevent
pressure marks on bricks which are not completely dry. The arms of the
clamps listed under “H - execution” are hollows and are filled with
grease or oil. Small pistons are situated in these fluid filled hollows.
The contact pads simply adjust to the geometrical form of the material
to be transported and are easily exchangeable. |

Slip on Clamping Arms |
|
|
| Slip-on clamping
arms are a further accessory to upgrade fork clamps and clamps with
turnable forks as well as their rotating combinations. Any fork clamp or
clamp with turnable forks which is usually used for transportation of
pallets can be upgraded to become a special clamp by using a specific
slip on arm to suit the goods to be clamped. Please observe: Using
slip-on arms on turnable forks is only allowed when the fork blade is
turned by 90° to vertical position. |

Drum Clamps |
|
|
The Drum Clamp can
transport 1 or 2 drums palletless and safely. The clamping arms are
standardly coated with rubber. They accommodate the geometrical form of
the drums to be transported or are executed in prism form. Standardly
fitted with pressure indicator.
Kaup Drum Clamps are also available in Explosion Proof execution |

The basic execution
of the Kaup Rotator is equipped with a fork carriage and forks. It can
be rotated 360° endless. Containers with a slip in underlay can be
turned for emptying. Original truck forks with normal widths can be
fixed by means of square stops. Included in the delivery., which are
bolted onto the lower carriage bar. Bolt holes in the stops offset to
all four sides for safe fixing. This is the range of the highest load

Reach Forks |
|
|
These attachments
allow loading of lorries or railway wagons from the side. The load can
be pushed to the opposite side of the loading platform. Reach Forks are
mainly used for palletize goods or where it is possible to slip the
forks in beneath the load. Forks are often combined with a Fork
Possitioner / KAUP range T 163 or T 466).
The Pantograph is normally found where Clamps or Multi claps are mounted
on the fork carriage.
Telescopic fork on request. |

Back Rest - Load
Stabilizer |
|
|
Load stabilizers are
mainly used in the beverage industries and are often combined with multi
pallet handlers or multiple side shifters.
Hydraulically presses the load from above onto the forks of the lift
truck by means of a rubber-lined plate.
Backrests ensure that part of the load does not slip backwards between
attachment and mast. In various countries load backrests are regulation. |
