Anver Corp. has introduced a new forklift attachment that lets the operator feed single sheets of stone panels or other material into machinery, presses or laser cutting tables, without leaving the cab. The Anver forklift vacuum attachment is a self-contained package that fits over standard forks and locks onto the back plate using a clamp and safety chain. Featuring a vacuum pump and gauge, motor, 12-volt battery and pendant control that reaches into the cab, this attachment operates independently from the forklift and lets the operator pick up and feed one sheet at a time from the top without an overhead crane. Equipped with built-in parking stands, the attachment can easily be stored when not in use. Incorporating a rigid frame with eight spring-suspended vacuum suction cups, these attachments are offered with 1,000-, 2,000-, and 4,000-pound capacities. They eliminate the potential for damage caused by slings and clamps.
