Durwen Fork Positioners

Durwen fork positioners are engineered for demanding applications where durability, visibility, and precision are essential. High-quality hydraulics and double chrome axis guidance deliver smooth, accurate fork movement, allowing operators to position loads with confidence. Precise fork positioning helps improve load alignment and supports safer handling of pallets and goods of varying widths.

A key feature of Durwen fork positioners is the Durwen ServicePlus (DSP) modular design. Most components are bolted rather than welded, making maintenance, repairs and component replacement quicker and more straightforward. This approach helps reduce downtime and keeps equipment in service for longer.

The compact frame design also provides excellent visibility of both the fork tips and the load. Improved sight lines help operators work more confidently in busy environments while supporting accurate load placement. At the same time, the lightweight yet robust construction helps maintain residual lifting capacity by keeping the load centre closer to the truck.

Durwen fork positioners can be configured to suit a wide range of applications. Options including integral sideshift provide additional flexibility, making them a practical choice for forklift dealers, OEMs and businesses looking to improve productivity and handling performance.

Moreover, Abbey now supplies an array of Durwen 360-degree revolving fork positioners to effectivly assist customers in complex applications.
