Single-Double Pallet Handlers
What is a Single-Double Pallet Handler?
A single-double pallet handler is a forklift attachment designed to increase efficiency in high-volume operations. With hydraulically adjustable forks, operators can handle one pallet (single mode) or two pallets side by side (double mode).
This flexibility means you can adapt quickly — switching between standard pallet handling and double-pallet moves with the same truck.
What Industries Use Single-Double Pallet Handlers?
Single-double pallet handlers are widely used in industries that move large quantities of palletized goods every day:
- Beverage distribution – transport two pallets of bottled drinks at once
- Food warehouses – streamline cold storage and grocery distribution
- Logistics & 3PLs – improve speed in high-turnover distribution centers
- Manufacturing – move finished goods faster on the production floor
What Types of Single-Double Pallet Handlers Are Available?
Depending on the application, single-double handlers can be configured in different ways:
- Standard Single-Double – switch between one or two pallets with side-shifting capability
- Heavy-Duty Models – built for industries with constant double-pallet moves
- Custom Fork Lengths & Widths – tailored to unique pallet sizes or load types
Benefits of Using a Single-Double Pallet Handler
- Greater efficiency – cut handling time in half by moving two pallets per trip
- Reduced labor & fuel costs – fewer forklift trips means lower operating expenses
- Versatility – switch instantly between single and double loads
- Less equipment needed – one forklift attachment does the work of two
FAQs About Single-Double Pallet Handlers
Do I need a bigger forklift to use a single-double?
Not always. You’ll need to confirm your forklift’s capacity rating, since handling two pallets at once increases the overall load.
Can I use a single-double in narrow aisles?
Because of the wider fork spread, they work best in facilities with adequate aisle width. Very narrow aisles may limit maneuverability.
Are they worth it for smaller operations?
If you move a lower volume of pallets, a standard forklift may be sufficient. But in high-throughput industries, a single-double pays for itself quickly.
