Bulk Bag Adapters

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.
