Types of Forklift Attachments
Fork-Extensions
Fork extensions increase the length of standard forklift forks, allowing operators to safely lift and transport longer or oversized loads.
Clamps
Clamp attachments are designed to handle products without pallets. Common types include carton clamps, paper roll clamps, and drum clamps, each built for specific applications.
Rotators
Forklift rotators allow operators to rotate loads 360 degrees, making them essential for applications such as waste handling, manufacturing, and recycling operations.
Sideshifters
Sideshifters move forks left and right, giving operators better load positioning and reducing handling time.
Push-Pulls
Push-pull attachments are used to handle slip sheets in place of pallets, reducing costs and saving space.

Carpet poles, boom attachments, and other specialty tools adapt forklifts for unique industries including textiles, construction, and steel.
