They are used for moving rolled floor coverings.

The coil pole are attached to the carriage portion of the forklift and are designed to move rolled coils and other rolled materials. These other materials which can be moved with concrete pipes or the reels of wire. Basically you will be able to move any rolled or even cylinder materials with this type of coil pole.

With these types they are not attached to the forklift at all but they are attached to the forks themselves. They can allow some ease for the transition from one pallet right to a coiled or even a rolled product with some ease and also while allowing some good clear vision for the operator of the forklift.
