Our Miniload devices in action

Space efficiency with MINILOAD telescopic fork unit
Maximum storage density and efficiency – the MINILOAD telescopic fork unit D3-R60-260/600-ST-1150 enables double-deep storage of trays in greenhouses.

The telescopic fork for precise transport in the warehouse
Our MINILOAD telescopic fork R32ST-180-N-1250 has a high quality steel design with belt drive. Two belt conveyors enable double-deep storage and retrieval of boxes in the automatic small parts warehouse.

Telescopic fork with belt drive
For our customer, a manufacturer of baby care products, we developed a small, compact MINILOAD telescopic fork in steel design with belt drive, on which the top fork width has been adapted for safe pick-up of the load.

The fast and light among the telescopic forks
Thanks to its compact and at the same time robust aluminum construction, our R38AL230-1250 telescopic fork has a low self-weight. In combination with the belt drive, this offers you the advantage of high dynamic acceleration and speed during your transport processes.
