In the food and drink industry, operational efficiency, strict hygiene, and safety compliance aren’t just priorities – they’re essential. And one area that can considerably help to improve these standards is forklift attachments.

But BFFF member Contact Attachments Ltd, based in Newtown, Powys, believes specialist attachments are often overlooked due to a lack of understanding of their true benefits. Technical Sales Advisor, Mark Jones, explains:

“At Contact Attachments, we work with many food and drink manufacturers who rely on specialist attachments to streamline their handling processes and meet the increasingly stringent demands of food safety legislation. But we understand that with so many options available, it can be a minefield choosing the right attachments for your operations, and this means so many more businesses are simply putting off investing in the right equipment – and are missing out as result.

“To help cut through the noise, we’ve put together a short guide answering the five most frequently asked questions about our attachments that we receive from food and drink businesses. From hygiene compliance to cost-saving potential – here’s a sneak peek at the most burning questions for the benefit of our fellow members …

1. What types of forklift attachments are common in the food and drink industry?
2. What hygiene and compliance regulations apply to attachments in food environments?
3. Do forklift attachments affect capacity and safety?
4. How can forklift attachments improve efficiency and cut costs in food operations?
5. What should I ask my forklift attachment supplier before buying for food and drink use?

“If you find yourself asking some or all of these questions, then our new guide is for you. It will help to demystify the process of investing in the right equipment, and have your operations running smoothly – and safely – in no time at all. And if fellow BFFF members have any other questions specific to their unique needs, we’re always on hand for a friendly no-obligation chat.”
