Attachment Installation
The guide rail for the sideshifter housing is located on the upper bar of the fork carriage and locks into the center notch. The complete attachment is mounted onto this guide rail and secured by bolting the bottom mounting brackets to the carriage. These are needle bearing guided bottom brackets (Smoothroll). Attachments with capacities above 3.5 tons feature tandem rollers. Once the hydraulic lines from the attachment to the truck are connected the attachment is ready for operation.
Independent sideshift system permits sideshifting without restriction under safety regulations and allows utilization of the entire opening range for shifting loads sideways. All sideshift housings features end-of-stroke- slow-down (Softstop).
If required, clamps can be fitted with valveblock sideshift (VBSS), which uses the residual stroke of the clamp cylinders to achieve lateral arm movement.
Clamp Profile
A combination of T and C profiles is used on OEA Kaup Clamps, providing high stability. This extremely robust sliding profile improves gliding and reduces wear and tear.
Optional Accessories
Quick release brackets can be supplied — allowing the clamp to be mounted/dismounted quickly without any tool.
If required three different force levels can be preset and controlled, either manually or by solenoid valve. A pressure gauge mounted in sight of the driver provides a view of hydraulic operation pressure of the clamp.
