Transport firm sweeps the board

David Haines, operations director, explained: “I’ve used Contact Attachments before when we required drum grabs and lifting hooks, and have always been really impressed with the quality of their design and fabrication, and the level of service they provide. For this application, we were keen to not only speed up the process of sweeping the docks, but to make it safer and less labour-intensive. Contact remain to be my favourite supplier of attachments, and the product they supplied is exactly what we needed.

“We already have a Broom attachment and a Ride-On Sweeper which work great, but this heavy duty version is much better suited to the docks because we often have larger materials which need sweeping into a pile so that they can be swiftly shovelled away.”

The Heavy Duty Sweeper is designed to work in the most arduous conditions, benefitting from eleven rows of replacement polypropylene bristles and a 5mm thick steel body for strength and sturdiness, ideal for use in building, construction, and quarry sites. It can be attached to the forks of a forklift truck securely using a heel retention pin, allowing companies to transform their existing forklift trucks however they require. 

Dave Manuel, Technical Sales Director, explained “Our Heavy Duty Forklift Sweeper, like all of our attachments and telehandler products, has been designed to meet the latest health and safety legislation and comes fully CE Certified. With the advantage too of having no moving parts, the machinery offers low maintenance and servicing costs, allowing users to keep a clean environment without the worry of mounting expenses.”
