With the necessary equipment presented below, the CLG 842 forklift can handle any task.

Attachments

• A snow blade is a device that you cannot do without in the winter season, in the presence of heavy snowfalls and extremely low temperatures. This equipment effectively clears roads and sidewalks of compacted and freshly fallen snow. In the mechanical version, the blade is adjusted manually, while the hydraulic version is adjusted using a lever located in the driver's cabin. Thus, in this case, the operator does not have to leave the cab to adjust the blade angle.

• Pallet forks are a device designed for loading and transporting cargo containers placed on pallets. In particular, we are talking about easily breakable goods, glass containers and other fragile items. Thanks to this option, the machine acquires the capabilities of a forklift.
• Telescopic boom is an attachment for lifting and moving cargo containers, the weight of which can reach two tons. The package includes a crane hook mounted on a hinged support. This support, in turn, allows the hook to rotate in different planes.
• A log grabber is a lifting structure designed to work with loads weighing from 3 to 5 tons, depending on the modification. It is a clamping device with a grip that holds cylindrical objects (logs, pipes, poles, piles) so that they do not fall out during transportation. The log grabber uses modern technology for the production of hydraulic hoses, which ensures stable operation at high pressure in the hydraulic system.
• The front bucket is a universal device for front loaders. It is installed at the front and is intended for loading and transporting garbage, snow and bulk materials.
• Snow removal bucket - this attachment is easy to use even when working with large volumes of snow. This option is designed for removing freshly fallen and compacted snow, including icy and hard snowdrifts. The strength of the bucket design is due to the material of manufacture - it is thick and durable steel, resistant to damage when hitting hard objects. Ergonomic bucket mounts allow you to quickly install or dismantle it on a loader.
• A bulldozer blade is a device with which the Liugong CLG 835 front-end loader acquires the capabilities of a mini-bulldozer. The option is equipped with a rotating function, which is responsible for the ability to adjust the angle of rotation of the blade relative to the front axle of the loader. Thus, you can choose the trajectory of throwing snow, sand or soil - forward, or to the right and front.
• A jaw bucket is a device in the form of two “blades” that interlock with each other to more tightly and reliably hold the load so that it does not spill out. Thanks to this, the jaw bucket is excellent for transporting bulk materials.
• The brush is an option for public utilities, in demand in housing and communal services. The main range of tasks is cleaning and clearing areas of freshly fallen snow, sweeping away dust, debris and leaves from sidewalks and along roadways. Depending on the design, brushes can be road brushes, rotary brushes, or industrial brushes with a hopper.
• Clamp/grab forks are an agricultural option for working with fibrous materials. The gripper ensures fast and efficient loading of hay, loosened haylage, mown grass and other similar materials with a density of no more than 800 kg per 1 cubic meter. m. In addition, during transportation the cargo does not spill out and remains inside the forks.
• A cradle is a lifting device that is an alternative to a crane. It is a compact lifting platform that takes up a minimum of space, which allows it to be used almost everywhere, even in closed warehouses, inside buildings and structures. Mainly used for working at heights. Of course, with the help of the cradle you can also work outdoors - for example, installing lighting lamps and high-voltage wires. In addition, you can finish and paint ceilings, building facades, etc.
• The bucket adapter is an accessory for more secure mounting of heavy attachments with a large lifting capacity. For example, an adapter can be used to secure a bucket.
