01 - How it works
Read the full user guide →
Two ways in. Same clean split.
B
With the forklift
Use the forks to drive the wedge fully into the pack. The gap it opens lets the forks slide straight in - lift off and transfer in minutes.
What happens in the pack
A clean gap, every time.

- The gap opensThe wedge’s gradient lifts the boards above, opening a gap without forcing or snapping edges.
