FormPak’s line of fork and crane adapters allow for the safe, efficient,
and easy handling of SuperSack® by
their lift loops. These devices allow an operator to quickly and easily connect
the lift loops of the bulk bag to a use-specific adapter (fork, crane, etc.)
and lift it for unloading or stacking, and can be made from carbon steel,
stainless steel, or aluminum.
Fork Adapters
allow a single operator or fork driver to attach a bulk
bag to the lifting device. The most important advantage
of this device is safety (many workers are
injured holding the lift loops open for a fork truck.), although
a great deal of time can be saved as
well. Just place the Adapter over the Super
Sack®, and wind the lift loops into the labyrinth hooks.
The Adapter also prevents lift loop abrasion,
which can be helpful when reusing bulk bags.
Crane Adapters
make bag pickup a breeze for unloading operations. Not only fast and easy to
use, the Adapter pulls straight up on the
lift loops (vs. hooking straps or stevedore style straps).
This is the FIBCA’s (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container
Association) approved lifting method for bulk
bags. SuperSacks® held
this way will remain open and most often, will discharge more
efficiently.
The Flying Fork
is a specialized crane adapter to lift Super Sacks® with Sleeve
style Lift Loops. Using chains or lifting straps
is not an acceptable lifting method for sleeve style Super
Sacks.
The Low Head
adapter is a ‘Z’ shaped device, which allows the
forks on the truck to remain low so the mast or backrest of
the fork truck is no higher than the bag.
These devices are typically used to load tall bulk bags without
pallets into trucks, but can also be used to stack bags in
low ceiling areas. Please consult our engineering dept. if
you have interest in this custom device.
