h. Clamp. The use of hydraulically operated clamp

arms enables the fork truck to handle objects that

cannot be palletized satisfactorily. The clamp arms grip

the load by squeezing it between the clamp faces.

There are numerous variations of clamp arms made to

handle different types of bags, barrels, cartons, bales,

and other commodities.

The clamping pressure

required depends on the load and usually is regulated by

the operator (fig 4-55).
