Forklift Attachment Brooms: When and Why to Use Them

How Fork Attachment Works

The concept is simple: two tubular steel housings where you slide in the forklift forks. 30 seconds to mount, no tools needed. The broom weighs 200-500 kg depending on model, so you need a forklift with adequate capacity (minimum 1.5 tons for small models).

Main Advantages

Using Your Existing Forklift

The most obvious advantage: you don't need to purchase a dedicated cleaning vehicle. The forklift you already use for material handling becomes, in seconds, an industrial sweeper.

Concrete savings:

Quick Application

Mounting is immediate: just insert the forks into the designated slots and the broom is ready to use. In less than a minute, you switch from material handling to cleaning.

When It Makes Sense (and When It Doesn't)

It makes sense if: you have a forklift, the area is over 500 sqm, you clean at least once daily. It doesn't make sense if: the area is small, full of obstacles, or you don't have forklifts.
