The Challenge
Basiloid is a unique forklift fixture used to handle large products during warehousing and vehicle loading.
Special packaging designs are needed to facilitate material handling with basiloid fork trucks.
No test system existed to simulate the dynamics associated with this unique mode of handling.
Original method of simulation, using real forklifts and drivers was neither efficient or repeatable.
The Solution
The MH‐15K Material Handling Test System essentially combines a hydraulic vibration system with a forklift mast for realistic simulation of handling conditions.
For this custom application, a Basiloid fixture was attached to the standard forklift mast, which is then attached to the hydraulic actuator.
Employing Field-to-Lab technology, the MH-15K is capable of performing time‐history
