Fork-Mount Lifting Adapters
 A |  B |  C |
 D |
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.

Fork-Mount Combination Lifting/Towing Adapters
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.

Forklift Booms
Slide these booms onto forklift forks to handle long, cumbersome loads. They secure to the forklift carriage with the included safety chains. These booms are labeled with capacity for each hook position. First hook position is measured from the fork pocket end.
Booms that are made in the U.S. have a label that confirms they are manufactured in the United States.
Horizontally telescoping booms extend and retract lengthwise to handle extra-long loads and reach into hard-to-access areas. Those that also adjust vertically move in and out and up and down for the most flexible load placement. To access tall loads, raise the hook position and lock the boom into place with the pin.
Styles C and G are designed for tall loads where more bottom clearance is needed. The fixed section has three hook positions spaced 6” apart.
Note: Capacities are approximate and depend on the type and load capabilities of the forklift used. Check with the manufacturer of your forklift for load capabilities before using.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

A bolt fastened with a nut and cotter pin makes these shackles more secure than screw-pin shackles. Also known as anchor and bow shackles, the wide body provides room to attach multiple connectors.
Galvanized steel shackles have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the shackle can lift is significantly reduced.

Rotating for easy positioning before a load is applied, these have a latch to ensure that rope, chain, and fittings won't separate from the hook when the load slackens. The hook opening accommodates large anchor points and allows chain to move freely through the closed hook.

Compact Forklift Booms
Designed for moving loads in cramped warehouses, these booms collapse to a smaller size than standard booms. You can also extend them to carry long loads or place items in hard-to-reach spots. Slide your forks into the pockets and secure to your carriage with the included chain.
These booms are labeled with capacity for each hook position. First hook position is measured from the fork pocket end.
Note: Capacities are approximate and depend on the type and load capabilities of the forklift used. Check with the manufacturer of your forklift for load capabilities before using.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Battery-Powered Forklift Booms
No more manually tugging and shoving your boom into position—just push a button and the battery-powered hydraulic pump precisely extends and retracts these booms for you. For loads up to 2,000 lbs., you can even move these booms with your load suspended from them. For heavier loads, you’ll need to position them first and then attach your load, but it’s still faster and more precise than manual booms. Operate these booms from a safe distance using the pendant switch.
Note: Capacities are approximate and depend on the type and load capabilities of the forklift used. A forklift with an 8,000 lb. rating is required. Check with the manufacturer of your forklift for load capabilities before using.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
