Forklift Truck Attachment Essentials
Most forklift owners do not exclusively use them for lifting and lowering pallets. Here are the most common attachments we see that benefit forklift users
Forklift Hook Attachment
The Forklift Hook Attachment has many different purposes, it's mainly used as a connective tool that allows you to connect drum lifting attachments. It's also really useful for allowing you to attach a chain sling, webbing slings or anything else that requires an anchorage point on your forklift. The hook attachment capacity ranges from 1t to 5t depending on what variant you select.
Extendable Forklift Jib
Need to place loads into a lorry or far reaching spaces? The Extendable forklift Jib is a great solution, it provides a reach of up to 3m. And it has multi hook positions, allowing you to lift anything within it's grasp. Zinc plated heel pins prevent the jib from accidentally slipping off your forklift forks. For low headroom applications, our Low Profile Extending Forklift Jib is the perfect alternative.
Drum Grab Lifter
Our LES Drum Grab Forklift Attachment is a powerhouse when it comes to high usage barrel grabbing applications. It's thick steel allows it to hold 680kgs and it's intense powder coating protects it from the elements. This can be used outside but be sure to follow the maintenance instructions. You don't need to have an special attachments in order for this to work, this will fit onto most forklift truck forks. If you're moving drums in your warehouse this is a must for safe operation, it will reduce any of your usual manual handling.
Vertical Drum Lifter Three Point
If you can't grab a drum in the middle, then try a top lifting drum lifter like our Three Point Vertical Drum Lifter, you will need to pair this with a Forklift Hook Attachment and a shackle but they're lighter than our Drum Grab Lifter so if you're moving drums occasionally we'd recommend the three point lifter every time.
Forklift Tipping Skip ICUS 
There are so many forklift skips out there, and the all look virtually the same, this is where you're mistaken, many manufacturers out there manufacture their skips with thinner steel. And you guessed it - they break, bend and never last as long. The Invicta Forklift Tipping Skip has nearly twice the thickness of steel than other inferior skips. And the best part? It's made right here in the UK. Their largest option holds 2.2t in weight whilst holding 1.8m3 of space. This is a great addition for moving material like sand or even useful for waste disposal due to it's automatic tipping function.

Forklift Truck Attachment FAQs
Yes, using an attachment alters the forklift's centre of gravity and effective load capacity, therefore you must refer to the revised load capacity chart provided by the manufacturer or supplier to avoid overloading. All forlift attachments should come with clearly indicated WLL.
yes, forklift truck attachments are subject to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), which require proper inspection, maintenance, and operator training.
Yes, forklift operators must receive additional training specific to each attachment they use, as attachments can change the forklift’s handling characteristics and present new risks.
Forklift attachments should be inspected before each use and undergo formal thorough examinations at intervals not exceeding 12 months—or more frequently if required under LOLER, based on risk assessment and frequency of use.
