O Akuros D-Series Sideshifting Fork Positioner is engineered for operations that require fast, accurate, and flexible pallet handling across multiple load types. Designed for heavy-duty applications and continuous material handling cycles, the D-Series provides enhanced maneuverability, precise fork spacing control, and smooth sideshifting performance—making it an ideal upgrade for logistics centers, distribution hubs, manufacturing plants, and cold storage facilities.
Built with reinforced structural components and high-efficiency hydraulics, the D-Series ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions while significantly reducing operator fatigue and improving overall productivity.
The D-Series allows operators to adjust the forklift’s load position by smoothly shifting the carriage left or right. This function reduces the need for repeated vehicle repositioning, shortens loading time, and improves operational flow—especially in narrow aisles or congested warehouse spaces.
The integrated fork positioning mechanism enables fast and accurate adjustment of fork spacing. This allows the operator to adapt immediately to different pallet dimensions, irregular loads, or mixed-size materials.
Benefits include:
Reduced product damage
Faster pallet engagement
Improved handling accuracy
Enhanced ergonomics for operators
Manufactured with premium-grade steel, the D-Series features a rigid frame designed to handle heavy loads and continuous-duty operations. The improved torsional stability ensures consistent performance even during demanding multi-shift environments.
The internal hydraulic circuit is optimized for smooth, proportional control. High-quality cylinders and sealing components ensure minimal leakage, stable pressure output, and long service life. The system supports:
Low-noise operation
Accurate fork movement
Reduced maintenance frequency
The D-Series can be mounted on most standard Class II–Class IV forklift models and is available in multiple capacity options. It fits seamlessly into industries that handle diverse materials, including:
Warehousing & logistics
Fabrico
Food & beverage distribution
Retail distribution centers
Cold chain and refrigerated storage
Construction materials & industrial goods
The D-Series is engineered to withstand harsh operational conditions such as dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Optional corrosion-resistant finishes are available for cold storage, seafood processing, and chemical environments.
Higher Throughput
Faster sideshifting and fork adjustments reduce cycle times.
Reduced Operator Fatigue
Less steering and fewer repositioning maneuvers lead to safer and more comfortable handling.
Lower Product Damage Rates
Accurate fork alignment prevents pallet breakage, load instability, and warehouse accidents.
Better Space Utilization
Ideal for narrow aisles, tight docking positions, and pick-and-place operations.
The D-Series Sideshifting Fork Positioner is widely used in:
High-density warehouses with varied pallet types
Cross-docking operations
Food and cold chain logistics
Automotive and parts distribution
Building materials and packaging industries
Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) handling
With superior engineering, long-term durability, and precise control, the D-Series offers exceptional operational value. It enhances the forklift’s functionality without requiring additional equipment, making it one of the most cost-effective upgrades for modern material handling.
