Attachments

When standard forks aren't enough, the right attachment lets one truck handle far more. We can advise on the best attachment for your loads, to buy or hire.

01

Sideshift and fork positioners

Sideshift moves both forks sideways to line up with pallets. Fork positioners move the forks closer together or further apart for different pallets and loads.

Rotators and clamps

Rotators turn the forks to tip or reposition loads. Clamps grip non-standard loads such as paper rolls, cartons, drums and bales.

03

Push-pulls and multi-pallet handlers

Push-pulls stack goods on slip sheets without pallets. Multi-pallet handlers lift two pallets at once, without increasing the truck's capacity.

What to know about attachments

  • Operators should be trained on every new attachment, even if they're already trained on the truck without it.
  • An attachment counts towards the truck's load capacity.
  • An attachment changes how weight is distributed, which is another reason training matters.
  • A forklift fitted with an attachment is treated as partially loaded, even when it isn't carrying anything.
