The Superior Bag Handler was developed in response to a need in our community to lift and load bags into a hopper safely. Once we designed the basic attachment, we developed hundreds of bag-handling variations. Before this attachment existed, an operator would have to slide the lifting straps of the bag onto standard forklift forks, then lift and carry the bag. That procedure puts the operator, the equipment, and the load at risk because, in many cases, the bag straps slip off the end of the forks, and the product gets dropped or damaged. In other instances, employees standing underneath the bag, trying to unload it by the bottom spout, have been injured by the bag and its contents when the straps slipped off the forks.
Our bag handler eliminates risk and concern by lifting the straps with four prongs tilted up at an angle. The straps are held in place by the weight of the bag. The angle effectively locks the straps and the sack into the natural saddle the prong provides against a backstop.
We can manufacture this attachment to your needs, applications, or requirements. Just contact us to discuss your particular needs.
