Rotator Attachments
Fork rotator attachments for forklift trucks for dumping containers.
The revolving fork rotator attachment is used for dumping Gaylords, hoppers, bins, or any similar container that has fork pockets or fork tubes in its base such that the container is retained on the forks when it is rotated over.
The revolving fork rotator must be equipped with special rotator forks which have a third hook which engages the bottom of the top fork bar when the forks are rotated up side down. This third or center hook on the back of the fork shank (vertical back section) is what carries the load when the forks are rotated. The bottom hook is not designed to carry a load but only to retain the forks on the fork carriage. Therefore, you must not use standard pallet forks with only two hooks on a fork rotator.
