In the material handling industry, a push-pull forklift is a specialized attachment-equipped forklift designed to handle slip-sheeted goods. Unlike traditional pallets, slip sheets are thin sheets made of plastic, paper, or other materials. The push-pull mechanism allows the forklift to grip and pull the slip sheet, moving the load forward or backward onto the forklift's forks or onto a storage surface. This system is ideal for companies looking to reduce pallet use, thereby saving space and cutting costs associated with pallet procurement and disposal. Push-pull forklifts are particularly useful in industries where high-volume, low-weight goods are frequently moved, such as in food and beverage or retail distribution sectors.
