1 Logistics is the future... and VETTER provides the tool: the fork! THE FORKEXPERT ISSUE 02 I 2018

2 qualityforks made by vetter: As manifold as the industries! From StandardForks to special versions to intelligent solutions for Logistics 4.0! The goal is to produce the best fork for each application. That s why we have a product range that consists of more than 30,000 active articles, an experienced and competent team as well as one of the most modern fork manufacturing facilities in the world. IT IS THE FORK THAT MAKES THE LIFT TRUCK A FORKLIFT TRUCK!

3 heavy metal! For your Toughest applications UP TO 120 tons CAPACITY AND BEYOND For heavy lift trucks in the wood industry in steel works at trade ports for container handling Up to 120 tons capacity and beyond Triple static safety Unique: dynamically tested Best material quality For highest demands: also available in high performance steel VQ1300 Best processing and welding quality Tight tolerances and smooth surfaces Superior heat treatment Also available with guiding rolls Comprehensive know-how: the perfect fork is often already existing in the VETTE database

4 GEKKO MagneTic Anti-Slip layer MAGNETIC ANTI-SLIP LAYER Ideal protection for loads Easily placed and removed within a few seconds Magnetic adhesion on the forks Higher occupational safety: minimized risk of slipping loads Increased stability during transport Reduction of damages Protection of sensitive surfaces, reduction of scratches Reduced vibration Noise reduction, especially when transporting metal components Abrasion and cut resistance for a long operating life Quick and easy installation Easy attachment on the lift truck (e.g. on the mast) when not in use For temporary use

5 For optimum protection of your goods Polyurethane fixed coating (fork blade and / or fork back) - also available as fork shoe or extension GrippFix coating (fork blade and / or fork back) - also available as fork shoe or extension FORK COATINGS: GRIPPFIX OR POLYURETHANE Protection of transported goods Slip resistance in dry and wet conditions (only GrippFix) Reduction of damages No scratches on goods Reduced vibration Noise reduction, especially when transporting metal parts in residential areas / at night Abrasion and cut resistance for long operating life Higher safety at work: no risk because of slipping load

6 For optimum protection of your goods IMPACT PROTECTOR Best possible protection for your goods no damage due to the inner heel radius of the fork Collision protection in the fork back: preservation of sensitive surfaces Noise reduction Quick mounting immediately ready for use Two options: KOALA red with two height-adjustable, integrated velcro strips, suitable for long-term application KOALA black with four integrated round magnets, suitable for short-term alternating use. During non-use simple fixing to the lift truck. KOALA-R: KOALA-S: Impact protector red with adhesive strap (Velcro) Impact protector black with 4 magnets

7 Safety and efficiency In Ex-Proof and Hygiene Areas! CLADDINGS IN BRASS OR STAINLESS STEEL For a safe transport in ex-proof and hygiene areas. The claddings made of brass or stainless steel offer easy cleaning, acid-resistance and high safety. ATEX certification Fixed cladding of fork blade / fork back Materials: brass (2.0321) or stainless steel (1.4301) No cladding in the inner heel section Easy crack test Possibility to carry out fork inspection Cladding thickness approx. 4 mm: total increase of fork section (width and thickness) by approx. 10 mm

8 Safety and efficiency In Ex-Proof and Hygiene Areas! SOLID STAINLESS-STEEL FORKS WITH ATEX CERTIFICATION Stainless steel forks are made from 100% solid stainless steel (including fork hooks) with a smooth and polished surface. The design complies with ISO 2330, tested statically with triple safety and dynamically with 1,000,000 load cycles with 25% overload. EX-PROOF AREAS ATEX certification Long-term cost savings More than 3 times longer service life compared to coated forks Highest safety Standrad explosion protection No examination of remaining cladding thickness Easy UVV examination Smaller cross sections in comparison to coated forks HYGIENE AREAS No interspaces Easy cleaning Resistance against dirt and environmental influences Corrosion-resistance
