🧹 Got a forklift? You've already got the makings of a pretty effective yard sweeper!

Our ES-1800 Forklift Sweeper simply slides onto your forklift forks, secures using T-screw clamps and you're ready to start clearing the yard.

There's no hydraulics, no electrics and no moving parts to worry about – just 8 rows of tough polypropylene bristles doing the hard work.
It's ideal for tackling leaves, gravel, sand and general yard debris, and because you're using the forklift you already have on site, there's no need for another dedicated machine.

Manufactured here in the UK and backed by our 3-year warranty.
Sometimes the simplest attachments are the ones that get used the most!

Did You Know?

Buying a used attachment doesn't mean inheriting its examination history - or its problems.

Every attachment should carry a data plate confirming its Safe Working Load, and its Thorough Examination record should transfer with it. If either is missing when you buy second-hand, you're taking on equipment you can't fully verify - and as the current owner, the compliance responsibility sits with you regardless of who owned it before.

Before putting a used attachment into service, it's worth having it independently examined and re-plated if there's any doubt over its history.

❄️ Halfway through September already… winter will be here before we know it!

It might seem a little early to be thinking about icy yards and frosty mornings, but that's exactly why now is a good time to get prepared.

Our Forklift Towable Salt Spreader makes it easy to spread salt or grit around yards, access roads and car parks using your forklift.

Better still, there’s still time to take advantage of our September Early Bird Winter prices. 💷

But when that first frosty morning arrives, you'll be glad it's there. ❄️

🚐 Clive's office has a slightly better view than ours this morning! 😄

Our CFTS-accredited LOLER examiner is out on the road carrying out Thorough Examinations on forklift attachments today and stopped long enough to send us this photo.

One of the advantages of our service is that we come to you, so there's no need to send your attachments away for inspection.

Automation is transforming UK warehousing - but most sites are hybrid in form, not fully automated.

AMRs, automated picking systems, and digital workflows are becoming more common, yet irregular loads, oversized pallets, and non‑standard materials still rely on human‑operated equipment.

That’s where attachments play a crucial role. They bridge the gap between automated processes and the unpredictable, real‑world loads that automation alone can’t manage. Whether it’s handling awkward waste streams, supporting mixed pallet sizes, or stabilising loads that robots can’t safely move, attachments remain essential to keeping hybrid warehouses running smoothly.

As more businesses upgrade their infrastructure this Autumn, reviewing attachment compatibility is just as important as reviewing software or robotics. Automation changes how loads move - and the right attachment ensures your manual and automated workflows stay aligned, safe and efficient.

Today marks the start of Recycle Week - the UK's biggest campaign encouraging people and businesses to recycle more, and to recycle right.

Behind every skip of sorted scrap, timber, or general waste is a piece of handling equipment doing the heavy lifting.

A well-matched tipping skip makes for cleaner, faster, safer waste handling - less manual lifting, less cross-contamination between waste streams, and a tipping mechanism that suits the material you're actually moving.

If your current skip is more ‘whatever we've always used’ than ‘matched to the job,’ Recycle Week is as good a prompt as any to take another look.

Buying a forklift attachment is only the beginning - what happens after the sale is what actually protects your investment.

In our latest blog, we look at why after-sales support matters just as much as the attachment itself:

¡ Staying safe, compliant and audit-ready - current Thorough Examination records, Declarations of Conformity and compatibility guidance
¡ Reducing downtime - fast troubleshooting, spare parts access and on-site inspections when something goes wrong
¡ Extending the working life of your equipment through proper maintenance and early wear detection
¡ Keeping operators confident and competent, especially when temporary or seasonal staff are involved
¡ Protecting your insurance position with complete certification and inspection records

The purchase price is only part of the picture. Reliability, spares availability, technical support and service life all shape what an attachment is really worth to your business over time.

Discover why forklift attachment after-sales support matters for safety, compliance, spare parts, maintenance, uptime and long-term equipment value.
