Forklift attachments are additional tools or equipment that can be attached to a forklift to expand its functionality. They help in handling specific types of loads or performing specialized tasks. Here are some common forklift attachments :
Fork Extensions – These are added to the standard forklift forks to allow handling longer or wider loads.
Side Shifters – These allow the operator to move the forks left or right without having to reposition the forklift, improving efficiency in tight spaces.
Rotators – These attachments allow the forks to rotate, helping in unloading or positioning loads at specific angles.
Push-Pulls – Used for handling paper rolls, carpets, or other bulk materials, allowing the load to be pushed or pulled without needing direct fork contact.
Clamps – These include drum clamps, paper roll clamps, and more, allowing operators to securely hold or clamp onto cylindrical or irregularly shaped objects.
Bale Grippers – These are specialized attachments for handling bales of material, like hay or paper, with a secure grip.
Fork-mounted Work Platforms – These provide a secure platform for workers to stand on while performing elevated tasks.
Lifting Jacks – Used for lifting and positioning heavy equipment or materials like machinery or large parts.
Man Basket – A safety attachment designed for lifting personnel to high places for maintenance or other tasks.
Ski attachments – These are useful for moving long, heavy items like pipes or lumber.
