The Kaup 412VP is indispensable for transporting blocks, flags and bricks for loading whilst maintaining the availability of the standard forks for palletised loads.
It reduces the costs associated with dispatching a pallet with every load, and as the clamp is able to handle a variety of load sizes, increases the versatility of the forklift.

BandB scales up its Weighmaster range
WeighMaster 2000 is a dynamic oil pressure weighing system specifically designed for materials handling equipment including, warehouse stackers, counterbalance, reach and order picking trucks.
Offering sideshift as well as fork positioning, the Kaup 412VP allows the placing of the forks outside the width of the truck so that longer, wider loads can be better supported.
The clamp provides excellent visibility for the lift truck driver, enabling loads to be moved quickly and easily.
An essential addition for companies that transport blocks, the forklift can be changed from standard forks to block handling clamp in just 30 seconds.
A central pivot on the arm ensures that if a block pack has not been placed squarely on the truck, the clamp can rotate to avoid damage to the block pack.
In addition, the arms have been coated with rubber to ensure that bricks, flags and blocks are not damaged when being handled.
Easy to service, the Kaup 412VP is backed by B and B Attachments' renowned after sales service and its fleet of nationwide service engineers.
The block clamp is manufactured by KAUP and Co KG, Europe's foremost producer of forklift attachments.

They believe it will enhance the standard range of KAUP bespoke products currently available from B and B Attachments.
