As Health and Safety legislation becomes ever more stringent, Invicta Forks & Attachments is receiving unprecedented demand for its range of stainless steel forks. Fire safety and hygiene are two areas of particular focus where health and safety are concerned and Invicta’s stainless steel forks provide a proven solution relevant to both areas.

These are standard forks, clad in stainless steel, making them ideal for use in applications such as chemical and certain manufacturing environments, where sparks could cause a risk of fire or explosion. Safe to steam-clean, the stainless steel forks can also be confidently used in food-related environments, where cleanliness is essential.

Invicta’s stainless steel cladding features protective pads, incorporated into the heel and toe of the forks, that give a clear indication of wear as the forks come into contact with the floor. This shows when either fork needs to be re-clad and also ensures that just the underside of the fork is treated, a considerably less expensive process than re-cladding the entire fork.

“Stainless steel forks are one of the most popular products in our range,” says Invicta Director Peter Sharpe. “We are noticing high demand for these specialised forks as businesses recognise the benefits of improved safety and cleanliness. It’s a constant struggle to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, but by installing stainless steel forks you’ll have taken care of at least one area.”

Alongside a range of stainless steel forks held in stock, Invicta provides a bespoke service and specialist forks can be produced exactly to an individual customer’s requirements. Lead times are short – two weeks maximum - and every product is produced to Invicta’s exacting quality standards, whilst remaining extremely competitive on price.

Leeds-based Invicta has developed more than 25 product lines for the industrial and construction markets. The company’s range features proven and novel designs to ensure the versatility to simplify handling operations in many diverse applications. With 85 years’ engineering experience behind it, Invicta is the largest UK manufacturer and stockist of mechanical fork truck attachments.
