This adapter adds to your forklift a hook for vertical lifting and a hitch receiver for towing. For inserts and couplers, see Hitch Inserts, Mounting Plate Inserts for Drawbar Couplers, and Drawbar Couplers.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Turn your forklift into a crane to lift loads that aren’t on a pallet. These adapters slide onto the forks, so you can secure and lift heavy loads from above instead of from beneath. All have a safety strap that secures to the forklift carriage for added security.

Adapters with one fork pocket are easier to install and transport than adapters with two fork pockets. Adapters with two fork pockets are better for lifting longer loads. They evenly distribute the load’s weight across the two forks.

Styles A, C, and D secure to the forks with thumb screws. The thumb screws allow for precise positioning and can be adjusted to fit different fork sizes. Style D lift loads with a central shackle. They have a swivel hook on each end to lift and balance long loads, similar to how a lifting beam works.

Style B secure to the forks with an auto-tension hook that presses against the fork as more weight is applied. No screwing and unscrewing required.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
