FORK TRUCK EXTENSIONS

Forklift trucks are perfectly designed for lifting and carrying heavy loads, but sometimes, a load is heavier than usual or is awkwardly shaped. This can make a standard lift challenging, but one very easy solution is to use fork truck extensions. These simple yet highly useful pieces of equipment work by extending the fork arms so that longer loads can be accommodated.

Fork truck extensions have many benefits, including:

• Various sizes and lengths available

KEY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING FORK EXTENSIONS
Fork truck extensions can be highly effective but in order to be safe, they must be used correctly. These are some of the main considerations to take into account when using them:

1. Ensure the maximum overhang does not exceed 66%

2. Check the weight and load capacity before use

3. Check the certificates of conformity. All of our products conform to relevant standards and come with certifications where applicable

If you are ever unsure about how to use fork extensions correctly, contact us or the vehicle manufacturer. This will help to ensure that all lifting equipment is being used as intended.

FORK EXTENSION SPECIFICATIONS
Fork extensions are sold in pairs and come in lengths of up to 2,438mm. They are painted black and have a fully pressed profile with rounded corners.

The 6mm tip thickness makes these fork extensions ideal for splitting packs, and the zinc plated heel pins ensure they can be safely attached to the truck.

Optional features include triangular or conical extensions that can be used for lifting paper rolls.
