How to Choose a Bale Clamp

The material you’re moving will play a big role in determining what features you prioritize in your bale clamps. Below

are a few typical features to consider when making your selection.

Arm Profile

Space is money in any warehouse. A thin arm profile allows a bale clamp to work with little space between bales.

This saves precious inches and enables you to make the most of your warehouse space.

Sideshifter

Sideshifters save time no matter what your forklift is picking up. Sideshifter attachments on bale clamps allow the

operator to quickly align the clamp with the load without having to maneuver the forklift into place. This saves an

enormous amount of time when moving irregularly shaped bales.

Rotators

Rotators make it easy to reposition bales. Many bales benefit from being able to lay on any side. With a rotator, you

can turn bales over until they are in the best position for your space.

Bale clamps aren’t suitable for every warehouse. And there are OSHA regulations surrounding what modifications can

be made to your existing forklifts. But for many industries, they are indispensable.
