Handling cube bags in twos.

[Alycidon]

I use a teleporter to move cube bags, usually putting one fork through each loop so one bag at a time.

 

There has to be a better way, I have plenty of power to lift two at a time one on each arm.

 

Do any of you folks move them in twos and if so how?. 3 m slings threaded through the loops and hooked up does work if a bit ungainly and they are hard to stack like that. But not to bad loading a trailer.

 

Thanks for your thougths.

Got some extended pallet forks on a tele. They slide on over the regular ones and have a retainer pin at the back. If you're clever, you can get them on or off in a few seconds, without leaving the cab. They're around two and a half times the length of the standard tines

I used to load them into trailers with the grab, just give it a squeeze!

 

You can do what you like, as long as its safe.

 

Looping the big strop through 8 eyes can be a pain, then someone has to jump in the trailer and undo it, usually need 1 fork to pull it out.

 

What may seem as a time saver may not be in reality.

 

Give it a go and keep us posted!

 

Remember pics, we love pics!

Because we are not lifting 800kg have found two handles diagonally works fine forks together in middle two side handles lifts ok. The only time it falls apart is when the bags are years old but you are only supposed to use them once so getting ten years out of them is a no no
