The FFB fork bumper acts as a load buffer and is fitted to the upright fork section for protection against damage that can be caused by contact with the rear fork.
Manufactured in pressed steel these forklift fork bumpers or fork buffers fit to the front face face of the upright fork section. They are held in place with securing screw pins. This pressed steel frame holds a plasticised, heavy duty padded foam buffer to protect loads from direct contact with the rear upright forks.
When a forklift truck is driven forwards to pick up a load, if not done at a slow steady pace the load can make contact with the metal rear fork upright which can cause damage to the load. These FFB fork bumpers offer great protection, not only to the load but also to the rear section of the forks.
They ensure that the load is kept clear of the fork shank and carriage offering vital protection for more delicate loads.
The FFB Fork Buffers are CE marked and come with a certificate of conformity to comply with health and safety regulations. There are 3 different sizes available. It would be ideal if you let us know the width, thickness, length and height of protection required in order to provide you with the correct product.
