What Is an Electric Reach Truck with a Carton Clamp?
An electric reach truck is a type of narrow-aisle forklift designed to extend its forks forward to "reach" into racking, making it perfect for high-density warehouses.
When this truck is equipped with a carton clamp attachment, it becomes capable of lifting and transporting boxed items without the need for pallets.

The carton clamp attachment uses two large flat arms (also known as splints or pads) to apply pressure and grip the load securely from both sides.
The absence of forks helps reduce the risk of damage and increases efficiency when dealing with boxed loads.

Why Choose a Carton Clamp Forklift?
Eliminates the Need for Pallets
Pallet-free handling significantly reduces the cost and hassle of maintaining wooden or plastic pallets.
It also frees up warehouse space.

Prevents Product Damage
With a properly calibrated clamp pressure, the attachment can securely grip items without puncturing or compressing the boxes,
making it ideal for fragile goods like TVs, washing machines, and air conditioners.

Speeds Up Workflow
Carton clamps allow operators to pick up and place items faster than with traditional forks, especially in high-throughput operations.

Improves Warehouse Safety
Less manual handling and fewer loose pallets reduce workplace hazards.

Environmentally Friendly
Use the electric reach truck to equip with the carton clamp attachment, unlike the traditional diesel forklift or gasoline forklift series,
without the exhaust gas emission.

Can a Carton Clamp Be Added to Any Electric Reach Truck?
Yes, technically. But it's important to have the right hydraulic capabilities.
FLIFT is a perfect fit for carton clamps because of its counterweight design, strong power system and robust power system.

Consult the forklift manufacturer before retrofitting a different forklift brand to ensure that you know about its load handling capacity,
attachment weight limitations, and system pressure support.

Carton Clamp Forklift: Is It Suitable for Fragile Loads?
Yes—in fact, it was made for them.
Modern carton clamps like FLIFT's use smart pressure regulation to apply just enough force to grip the box without deforming or damaging it.
The wide, padded arms evenly distribute pressure.

Some carton clamp systems even come with pressure sensors and feedback loops to maintain consistent grip based on load weight and size.
