Washington’s robust agricultural businesses need specialized tools for their operations. A reliable, heavy-duty forklift is a must, but a specialized forklift clamp can give your business a competitive edge. Here are the three best-selling forklift clamps in Washington State.
Hay Squeeze Attachments and Bale Clamps
Hay is the fourth most valuable crop in Washington state, grown in nearly every county, from Wenatchee to the Tri-Cities, Spokane to Yakima and everywhere in between.
Hay squeeze attachments and bale clamps make moving and stacking bales a breeze. They also prevent spills and protect the product from damage due to misaligned forks. Composite bushings mean your harvest won't be contaminated with equipment grease.
Carton Clamps
Washington has a booming beverage industry. Many warehouses and distribution centers have stopped using pallets because carton clamps are cleaner and more efficient. As long as the cargo is appropriately boxed, carton clamps can move loads quickly and effectively from storage to docks. No pallets mean less mess and lower overhead due to increased space in your warehouse.
Single and Double Barrel Clamps
Single and double barrel clamps allow operators to move barrels to new locations or gently spin a barrel to manage its sediments in aging. Barrel clamps are essential whether the vineyard needs to move freshly produced wine into storage for aging or to retrieve products for bottling.
