Pushers
Pallet-free loading of bagged material
The Pusher is designed for the safe and efficient handling of various soft bagged materials without the use of pallets. It is an ideal solution for operations requiring the loading, stacking, and retrieval of goods such as fertilizers, grains, and cement, often used in conjunction with pallet inverters for efficient recovery.
A pusher carries bagged or soft product on plain fork arms and then pushes it off with a hydraulic push plate, so the load is placed without a pallet and without the operator having to shake it free. Dual cylinders and an X-frame keep the plate square to the load as it moves.
It suits high-volume bagged goods — fertiliser, grain, flour, cement, salt and sugar — where pallets would either be lost in the supply chain or would waste vehicle space. Paired with a pallet inverter, the same operation can recover and reuse pallets at one end of the flow while running pallet-free at the other.

Fits ISO Class II, III and IV fork carriages
In service on Toyota, Linde, Hyster, Jungheinrich, TCM, Manitou, JCB, Feeler, Yale and Komatsu trucks across the region.
- Hydraulic attachments run off the truck’s auxiliary services; where a truck has too few, an additional service or a solenoid selector can be fitted.
- Mechanical attachments slip over standard fork arms and need no hydraulic connection at all.
- Fitting an attachment changes the truck’s rated capacity, so the derated capacity plate is confirmed as part of the quote.
