Contact Attachments is celebrating after supplying one of its forklift attachments to a client based in the United Arab Emirates, to help with heavy bag handling operations.
The company’s Forklift Bag Handler is used by FAMCO (Al-Futtaim Auto & Machinery Company), which in turn supplied the attachment to a client in the region.
FAMCO, part of The Al-Futtaim Group, is an authorised distributor of Linde MHE products. Aamir Khan, assistant product manager at Linde MHE, explained: “Our client previously used forklift forks to handle heavy bags, which was proving to be time-consuming, inconvenient and unsafe. Having already met a representative of Contact Attachments in Qatar, we contacted them again and based on the prompt support and guidance they provided, we quickly placed the order for the Forklift Bag Handler.
“They were very satisfied with the product and are now able to handle heavy bags more effectively, and with greater safety. FAMCO was kept updated with the production and shipment progress at all stages, and we even received a courtesy call post-delivery from the team to ensure the attachment met our client’s requirements.”
As the user was handling bags from 1500x1500mm pallets, Contact Attachments customised its Forklift Bag Handler to meet precise requirements, with the pole extended to 1600mm long and capacity upgraded to 1500kgs.
