  • Low friction skid bars for material handling equipment
    Patent number: 12679707
    Abstract: A low friction construct attached to a top plate of forks of a material handling device. The low friction construct is positioned under the forks and inboard of downwardly extending sides of the forks. The low friction construct has an elongated low friction material that extends below the downwardly extending and spaced apart sides of the forks. The low friction material contacts a pallet as the pallet is engaged. The low friction material tends to slide over the lower frame of the pallet, reducing the likelihood of pushing the pallet away.
    Type: Grant
