Title: B&B Attachments Presents New Material Handling Innovations at IMHX
B&B Attachments, the UK’s leading supplier of Forklift truck attachments is exhibiting
new material handling solutions at IMHX 2016. IMHX is the premier meeting place for
the UK’s intralogistics industry. The show takes place at the NEC, Birmingham from
13th
– 16th
September. It houses over 400 exhibitors and 20,000 supply chain
professionals that will gather to evaluate cutting edge technologies, explore the latest
industry solutions and discuss how to increase efficiency within supply chain
operations.
This year B&B Attachments is set to display a number of new ground breaking
innovations to the industry, shown together for the first time. Additionally, there will be a
variety of other products including camera systems and weighing devices displayed on
B&B’s stand – 11N61.

2. The New Double Pallet Handler
The newly designed KAUP Double Pallet Handler range T429C has been re-designed
with many new innovations. KAUP has succeeded in achieving substantial changes in
three main areas. Firstly, they have improved the visibility through the attachment.
Secondly, they have drastically reduced the lost load centre and thirdly as a result, the
residual capacity has increased significantly.
KAUP has completely changed the design of this attachment, the clamp body has been
newly designed with double T-profiles and the hose lines have been changed with firmly
installed steel pipes.
Shaft guidance has been added to the inner forks, along with different sideshift
cylinders. The fully welded sideshift unit drastically reduces the lost load centre, thereby
significantly increasing the residual capacity of the forklift truck. At the same time the
opening and closing cycles of the new T429C are approximately one third quicker than
ones on the previous model. All of these changes along with the fact that the new
Double Pallet Handler consumes 20% less energy makes it an integral part of any
operation.
The New Keg Clamp
The new KAUP Keg Clamp attachment enables a secure grip of kegs and casks, and
providing ease of movement of both full and empty barrels around the yard and
production facility. The Keg Clamp attachment allows for up to 18 barrels to be handled
in a single lift. It provides the driver with excellent visibility when approaching the load,
whilst also increasing driver confidence and ensuring safe and secure handling on
site. The new innovations include substantial strengthening, further increasing
resistance to impact, whilst maintaining the most efficient operational attachment
weight.
The New Roll Clamp
KAUP is following a new direction not only in double pallet handling, but also in the
world of handling paper rolls. KAUP has completely re-designed their rotating Roll
Clamp model range T458, which in the future will be marketed under Type T458B.
During the process of redesigning, several areas were thoroughly studied and revised.
As an example KAUP’s engineers optimised the clamping arm kinematic by re-

3. positioning the pivot point of the clamp arms. This has changed the arm contour of the
T458B, which is now considerably thinner compared to the previous model. The
clamping force is also more equally distributed on the rolls to be handled, combined
with a stronger arm connection and all new retained contact pads.
LayerMaster
LayerMaster, from B&B Attachments Ltd, provides a solution for both layer picking and
layer splitting loads. It allows a pallet to be quickly broken down or built up by clamping
layers, and can be adjusted for a wide range of products including boxed and frozen
goods, glass and plastics containers, tinned products and plastic trays. Very versatile, it
can lift up to half of a 2400mm high pallet at a time or, alternatively, just a single layer of
boxes, thereby enabling the load to be quickly broken down or built up by clamping
single or multiple layers. The open centre version is capable of lifting a full height
2400mm load.
BlockMaster K320/ PowerMount – BlockMaster J250R
This year B&B will also exhibit its K320 and J250R Overhead Block Clamp
Attachments, designed to assist with the complex task of moving bricks and blocks on
site. These attachments are made specifically for each application and manufacturing
process. The attachments can be integrally mounted to obtain maximum lift capacity
and weight efficiency. The BlockMaster range is used extensively in worldwide markets,
providing optimum performance and maximum productivity when handling a vast array
of construction materials.
These attachments will be shown together with the unique PowerMount quick release
system. The PowerMount system enables a quick change from one hydraulic
attachment to another in just 90 seconds, without the need for an engineer.
The New Reach Fork
KAUP Telescopic Forks have also undergone a complete modernisation. The most
significant improvements include: the new hydraulic synchronism. Additionally, starting
tonnage (2 tons) with a smaller width option is available. It is possible to handle pallets
double deep with entry spaces smaller than Euro-pallets. In addition different forms of
load stops and a number of wear and tear pads on the bottom side and tips of the forks
open up a whole variety of applications for the new Telescopic Forks T180CT.
