Custom forklift attachment adds safety and productivity at stamping plant

摘要

When MiTek USA's stamping plant in Tampa, Fla., started taking delivery of longer trains from domestic steel suppliers, the increased throughput challenged the company's receiving processes. After purchasing a custom forklift attachment, the company significantly improved speed and safety. Previously, MiTek was using its 35,000-pound capacity lift truck (Taylor) with a wire rope sling strapped over the center of 6-foot-long forks. An employee then manually passed the sling through the eye of the coil and attached it with a swivel hook to complete the connection.
