The funnel device in forklift attachments is an important auxiliary tool, which is suitable for the handling and loading of various bulk materials. It can accurately place bulk goods at the required location, effectively reduce the loss and waste of materials, and improve the overall efficiency of logistics operations.

[0003] The height of the existing hopper device for forklift attachments is fixed. When using the hopper device with a fixed height, the operator needs to constantly adjust the position and angle of the forklift to adapt to the height of the cargo.

[0004] For example, a concrete funnel device disclosed in the announcement number CN218668571U, the funnel in the patent cannot adjust its height. The height-unadjustable funnel limits the operational flexibility of the forklift in a small space. The funnel cannot adapt to the loading requirements of goods of different heights and sizes. When loading containers or trucks of different heights, the fixed funnel device may not be able to cooperate effectively, resulting in low loading efficiency or failure to complete the task, limiting its adaptability and flexibility in different work scenarios.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an adjustable funnel device for forklift attachments to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
