The Forkfix mobile crucible tilting device was designed and developed for the in-plant handling of liquid aluminium transport containers with a capacity of 5 to 6 tonnes. The device enables the internal transport of these containers, as well as allowing the melt to be transferred into the relevant furnace or casting facility. Mobility is provided by a standard forklift, which is flexibly attached to the Forkfix by means of a swan-neck tow bar.
This makes it significantly quicker, easier and more cost-effective to use liquid aluminium.
