What the source identifies
The manufacturer describes T156 as an entry fork-positioner series with two-cylinder parallel movement and independent sideshift. A version without sideshift is listed as optional.
Keep the version and application explicit
KAUP explicitly says this positioner is not suitable for clamping between the forks. The standard source description excludes forks. Existing truck forks and any added backrest need configuration-specific confirmation.
Questions before a comparable quotation
What must the attachment handle?
State pallet openings, fork spacing range and whether separate sideshift is needed.
Which full configuration is proposed?
Ask for the full T156 code, fork geometry and mounting, included equipment and hydraulic-interface documents; do not order it as a fork clamp.
What supports the truck match?
Request the attachment drawing, mass and centre information, mounting class, hydraulic interface documents and a truck-specific residual-capacity basis. Keep quotation scope, exclusions and current operating documentation with the complete identification. A catalogue image is not installation guidance.
From this reference to a purchase request
Keep the offered product identity, quantity, application and delivery destination in one written requirement. Compare the supplier’s dated documents and exclusions alongside price, lead time, warranty and support responsibilities. The existing supplier and procurement tools below help prepare that information; opening a link does not send a message or count as a completed or effective enquiry.
Source and evidence boundary
The company-controlled product body and mapped original image were reviewed directly. The page is undated unless its source says otherwise; the review date is not a product launch date. Supplier descriptions and nominal catalogue figures are attributed reference information, not independent performance, safety, conformity, fitment or stock verification. Obtain documents for the actual offered version and resolve any difference before ordering. This page provides no installation, repair, energising or operating procedure.
