Choosing the right attachment can help improve handling efficiency and accommodate loads that are difficult to handle with standard forks. The following attachments are possible options for relevant forklift applications. Actual compatibility with the CPD45-B must be confirmed.
A sideshifter moves the fork carriage laterally, allowing the operator to adjust the load position without repeatedly repositioning the entire truck.
Suitable applications:
Pallet handling in warehouses
Loading and unloading trucks
Aligning pallets with storage racks
Material handling in limited working spaces
A fork positioner hydraulically adjusts the spacing between forks. It can reduce manual fork adjustment when handling pallets or loads with different widths.
Suitable applications:
Warehouses handling multiple pallet sizes
Distribution centers
Manufacturing and logistics operations
Repeated pallet handling tasks
Fork availability and hydraulic circuit requirements should be confirmed for the selected configuration.
A rotator allows the attachment and load to rotate, with the rotation range determined by the selected model. It can support applications that require controlled load turning or emptying.
Suitable applications:
Industrial containers and bins
Manufacturing processes requiring load rotation
Selected recycling and material-processing operations
The appropriate rotator and mounting configuration must be selected according to the load and working process.
A fork clamp can handle suitable palletized loads with its forks and can also clamp compatible loads. It can provide greater flexibility where the operation alternates between conventional pallet handling and clamping tasks.
Suitable applications:
General industrial material handling
Mixed pallet and non-pallet loads
Selected production and logistics operations
A paper roll clamp is designed to grip suitable cylindrical paper rolls. Correct contact pressure and clamp dimensions are important for handling rolls securely while minimizing damage.
Suitable applications:
Paper mills
Printing and packaging plants
Paper warehouses
Paper distribution operations
A bale clamp is designed to handle compatible compressed bales without requiring conventional pallets.
Suitable applications:
Textile and fiber handling
Cotton and hay bales
Selected recycling and packaging operations
The clamp opening, contact surface, and gripping force should match the bale dimensions and material.
A drum clamp is intended for handling compatible industrial drums. Depending on the selected attachment, the configuration may handle one or multiple drums, and some versions provide rotation.
Suitable applications:
Industrial production facilities
Warehouses handling compatible drums
Chemical and manufacturing logistics
Drum type, load weight, gripping method, and any rotation requirements must be confirmed before selection.
A steel pipe clamp is designed to handle suitable long, round loads that require controlled gripping and stabilization.
Suitable applications:
Steel processing facilities
Metal warehouses
Pipe storage and distribution
Selected construction-material handling operations
A tire clamp is designed for handling compatible tires without relying on conventional pallet support. Rotating versions are available for applications requiring a different load orientation.
Suitable applications:
Tire manufacturing plants
Tire warehouses
Automotive supply chains
Tire distribution facilities
A push-pull attachment handles suitable unit loads on slip sheets rather than conventional pallets. The attachment pulls the load onto the load-supporting surface and pushes it off during delivery.
Suitable applications:
Selected bagged products
Food and feed packaging
Warehouses using compatible slip sheets
Operations seeking to reduce pallet use
The slip-sheet type, load dimensions, and attachment configuration must be confirmed in advance.
Move heavy raw materials, components, and finished goods between production areas and storage locations.
Handle suitable heavy palletized loads during receiving, staging, storage, and dispatch operations.
With a compatible paper roll clamp, the forklift may be configured for paper-roll handling applications.
With a compatible attachment and suitable load configuration, the truck may support handling of selected pipes, components, and other industrial materials.
Optional attachments can be considered for bales, drums, tires, and other specific load types after a technical compatibility assessment.
Before selecting an attachment for the LEAD CPD45-B, consider the following factors:
Load weight: Confirm the actual load weight and the forklift’s allowable capacity in the proposed configuration.
Load dimensions: Check the width, diameter, length, and shape of the materials to be handled.
Load center: A load extending farther from the carriage can reduce the truck’s allowable lifting capacity.
Lifting height: Confirm the required working height and mast configuration.
Hydraulic requirements: Check the number of auxiliary hydraulic circuits and any electrical requirements.
Mounting interface: Confirm the attachment mounting class and compatibility with the forklift carriage.
Working environment: Consider the floor, aisle width, operating cycle, and load protection requirements.
Installing an attachment may change the forklift’s residual capacity and operating dimensions. The final configuration should be evaluated and rated accordingly.
The CPD45-B has a rated load capacity of 4,500 kg at a 500 mm load center in the brochure-listed configuration. The allowable capacity may differ when the load center, lift height, mast, or attachment changes.
LEAD offers lead-acid and lithium-ion battery options across its electric forklift range. The CPD45-B brochure lists an 80 V / 500 Ah lead-acid battery configuration. Confirm the availability and final specifications of a lithium-ion configuration when requesting a quotation.
The brochure lists a maximum lifting height of 3,000 mm for the CPD45-B configuration. Other mast options should be confirmed separately.
Attachments such as sideshifters, fork positioners, rotators, paper roll clamps, bale clamps, drum clamps, tire clamps, and push-pull attachments may be considered. Compatibility, hydraulic requirements, mounting dimensions, and residual capacity must be confirmed for each selection.
It may be suitable for warehouse and industrial operations that require handling loads within its rated capacity and dimensional limits. Check aisle width, turning radius, overhead clearance, floor conditions, lifting height, and duty cycle before selecting a configuration.
Contact LEAD with your required load capacity, lifting height, battery preference, working environment, and any attachment requirements. This information helps the team assess a suitable configuration.
