Regular attachment changes
At a terminal within the paper industry – where goods such as pulp, paper rolls, and other forest products are handled around the clock – high demands are placed on flexibility and operational reliability.
Daily operations involve constant switching between different types of lifting tasks. At the same time, minimizing downtime is critical. If one forklift is taken out of service, work must continue immediately with another machine.
How OQT is used in practice
In this type of terminal environment, the OQT quick coupler system is used to enable fast and safe changes between different clamp attachments for handling pulp bales, paper bales and paper rolls.
Attachment changes are performed directly from the operator’s cabin in just a few seconds, allowing the operator to quickly switch between tasks. Instead of getting into a different forklift or waiting for assistance, a single forklift can handle multiple operations throughout the shift. This creates an efficient workflow where the right equipment is always available – exactly when needed.
In operations running 24/7, these time savings quickly
become significant. With OQT, attachment changes can be performed continuously, contributing to increased productivity and improved resource utilization.
Safety is a key factor
Since the operator does not need to leave the cabin when changing attachments, the risk of pinch injuries and other workplace accidents is reduced. It also enables operators to work independently during night shifts.
Requirements for clean and safe handling are also better met. In environments where paper products are handled, avoiding oil leakage is critical. The OQT system’s integrated couplings contribute to cleaner and more controlled operations.
