A roll clamp truck is similar to a forklift, but instead of forks, it has a special hydraulic clamp attachment for handling rolls of paper. Clamp trucks are essential for moving large paper rolls throughout the supply chain. From the time a roll of paper comes off the winder to when it is delivered to the converting equipment, which is often in a separate facility, a single roll can be handled as many as 15 times. Each time the roll is touched, there is an opportunity for damage to occur, so it is important to use the right clamp truck and follow proper handling procedures to prevent damage.
