A simple but incredibly effective device for clearing factory floors and loading areas is the latest inventive product to be launched by Invicta Forks & Attachments. The fork-mounted magnet attachment clears surfaces of metal debris that could otherwise present a hazard to vehicles and operators alike.

Invicta’s powerful new magnet attachment efficiently clears swarf, offcuts, nails and other waste from factory floors, yards and loading areas. The attachment is simple but very effective. It is fork-mounted, suspended by chains, and moves along just above the floor surface, clearing a large area of damaging material in a fraction of the time taken to tackle the job manually. The magnet can be used on its own or in conjunction with Invicta’s Basil sweeper attachment, which has a left- and right-hand sweep option for clearing factory floors, yards, roads and pathways.

“The fork-mounted magnet is a simple device, but, like all the best ideas, its simplicity masks its sheer efficiency,” comments Peter Sharpe, Invicta’s Director. “It’s an extremely powerful and rugged attachment. It can clear a large amount of floor debris in a very short time, removing items that would otherwise very quickly become a danger to health and safety.”

Protecting vehicle tyres from punctures, as well as operators from injury, the fork-mounted magnet is a useful addition to any business’s health and safety armoury. The attachment can be supplied in a range of widths to suit different host vehicles and applications and is available ex-stock
