WHAT ATTACHMENTS CAN I ADD TO MY FORKLIFT?
Enhance the versatility of your forklift with attachments
Forklift attachments can enhance the versatility and efficiency of a forklift by enabling it to perform a variety of tasks beyond simply lifting and moving pallets.
Fork Extensions
Fork extensions enable you to extend the length of your forklift forks, allowing your forklift to handle longer loads that are otherwise too large for your standard forks. They are ideal for handling large, awkward loads such as timber, pipes, or sheet materials.
Side Shifters
Side shifters enable the lateral movement of the forklift's load, typically about 4-6 inches in either direction, making it easier to align and position loads without needing to reposition the forklift, saving time and effort. They are useful in tight spaces or when precise positioning of loads is necessary.
Rotators
Ideal for applications that require dumping or rotating loads, rotators allow you to tilt and rotate materials securely. They are perfect for industries like agriculture, waste management, and food production.
Fork Positioners
These attachments allow the operator to adjust the position of the forks from the cab, improving efficiency and safety when handling different types of loads or pallets. They are useful for when handling different sized pallets.
Clamps
There are many different types of clamp attachments from paper roll, carton and bale clamps, which are used to handle non-palletised boxes, bales of textiles or hay as well as large paper rolls without damaging them. They are ideal for industries like paper, recycling, or food products where loads need to be moved without using pallets.
Push/Pull Attachments
These attachments are perfect for handling slip-sheeted loads, eliminating the need for pallets and saving space in shipping and storage. The push/pull mechanism grabs the slip sheet and pulls the load onto the forks. They are Common in industries focused on reducing pallet usage for cost and storage efficiency, such as grocery or bulk packaging industries.
Multi-Pallet Handlers
Equipped with additional forks these attachments increase productivity by handling two or more pallets at once. They are perfect for high-throughput operations like warehousing or beverage distribution, where handling multiple pallets at once improves productivity.
Drum Handlers
These attachments are designed to lift, transport, and pour drums. They come in various configurations, such as clamp-type or grab-type attachments. They are used in industries dealing with liquid storage or chemical handling, where drums are common.
Jibs and Boom Attachments
Jibs and booms turn a forklift into a mobile crane, allowing it to lift loads from above using hooks or slings. They are ideal for lifting and placing loads that can't be palletised or need to be handled from above, such as pipes or machinery.
Snow Ploughs
Snow Plough attachments enable a forklift to turn into a snowplough. They are useful in clearing snow from loading docks, parking lots, or other areas where forklift operate.
Scales
Integrated scale systems allow operators to weigh loads directly on the forklift. The scale attachment is useful in shipping and logistics to ensure that loads are withing weight limits and for tracking inventory.
These attachments can greatly enhance the functionality of your forklift, making it a more versatile took in various industrial settings. Check out our
