From the July 2009 edition of "The Get a Grip Gazette" by Tom Monroe, Jr
"Usually, it is the customers who tell me stories of new and unique ways to use ForkGrips that are different than their intended use of helping unload trucks. This time it is me who stumbled onto the new idea. I needed to move a pallet filled with stacks of cardboard boxes closer to the packaging station workers. 1 wasn't able to get the forklift or pallet jack close enough to move it. I figured I would just use a little muscle and push it by hand. Unfortunately, the floor was slick and my shoes kept slipping. All of my pushing was just moving me and not the pallet.
As usual, the forklift was nearby We always keep a pair of ForkGrips next to the driver’s seat of the forklift for easy access. I grabbed the ForkGrips, and tossed them on the slick floor near the pallet. I stepped onto the pads with my feet and tried pushing again.
This time the pallet moved and not me. The extra grip provided by the ForkGrips gave me the traction my shoes needed to move the boxes to where they needed to be so the packaging workers could do their jobs much faster and easier.
It is amazing how many uses we are finding for ForkGrips."
