What is a Double Pallet Handler?
A Double Pallet Handler is designed to lift and transport two standard pallets side-by-side simultaneously. It replaces the standard forks on a forklift and is a key tool for maximizing efficiency in high-volume, uniform load handling environments.
Why need a Double Pallet Handler?
The core principle is simple: instead of moving one pallet per trip, you move two, effectively doubling the material handling productivity for each travel cycle.
It has multiple advantages:1. Increase efficiency: reduces travel time by up to 50% for multi-pallet moves.
2. Reduces labor cost: fewer trips mean less operator time and fewer forklifts and operator needed for the same volume work.
3. Improved space utilization: Allows for denser staging of pallets on the floor, as they can be placed side-by-side for easy pickup.
4. Less Forklift Wear and Tear: Fewer trips mean less distance traveled, reducing fuel/energy consumption, tire wear, and overall maintenance.
