Aardwolf Double Forklift Boom - DFB2-5000
The Aardwolf Double Forklift Boom DFB2-5000 is a telescoping two-section rectangular tube steel boom designed for removing bundles of marble and granite slabs from closed-top containers.
Thanks to its design, without any impediments between the fork booms, the operator can insert the full length of the booms into the container and bring the load right back to the fork mask, allowing for greater load capacity and more stability. This attachment can support a load capacity of up to 5,000 kg. Installing it is very simple, thanks to its double-fork design. The Aardwolf Double Forklift Boom is powder-coated for extra durability and longevity, so the operator can use it for years to come.
