    Forklift Fork Extensions

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Forklift Fork Extensions.
    Add length to your forklift’s forks for extra support of large loads.
    Extensions attach to your forks with a loop or a pin.
    Note: Extensions reduce the capacity of a forklift. Please refer to your forklift manufacturer for load capacity reductions. OSHA standards require that the length of an extension is no more than 150% of the supporting fork's length.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Loop—Loop extensions are quick to install—just slip the loop over the heel of your fork.
    Pin—Pin extensions lock in place behind your fork, so they’re more secure than loop extensions. This means that you can attach a longer extension without losing stability.

    Style C

    Style D

    Turn your forklift into a crane to lift loads that aren’t on a pallet. These lifting hooks 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.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    1 Fork Pocket—Lifting hooks with one fork pocket are easier to install and transport than lifting hooks with two fork pockets.
    2 Fork Pockets—Lifting hooks with two fork pockets are better for lifting longer loads. They evenly distribute the load’s weight across the two forks.
    Styles A and C—Styles A and C secure to the forks with thumb screws. The thumb screws allow for precise positioning and can be adjusted to fit different fork sizes.
    Style B—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.
    Style D—Style D secure to the forks with thumb screws. The thumb screws allow for precise positioning and can be adjusted to fit different fork sizes. They 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.

    Keep fork extensions organized and out of the way by storing them in these racks. If your extensions attach with a loop, you can use these racks to slide them on or off forks without leaving your forklift. To attach extensions, drive the tips of your forks into the loops. Raise your forks until the extensions slide all the way on, then back away from the rack. To remove, reverse the process.

    Forklift Forks with Embedded Scale

    Image of Product. Remote Digital Display. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Scales. Forklift Forks with Embedded Scale.

    Remote Digital Display

    Check the weight of your load without leaving your forklift. These forks have an embedded scale that uses Bluetooth to send measurements. The scale has tilt compensation, so it's accurate even if your forklift's mast is not perfectly vertical. For easy viewing, clamp the remote display onto your forklift’s dashboard or mast. You can also link the scale to your smartphone or tablet to view, log, and export data from an app.
    Use these forks with any forklift equipped with an Industrial Truck Association (ITA) Class II carriage. They slide into forklift pockets just like any other forks. To minimize downtime, each fork has its own battery that lasts up to 75 hours on a single charge.
    Warning: Distribute your load evenly across the forks to prevent overloading one side or the tips. Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Cannot Be Sold to Canada—Forks cannot be sold to Canada due to energy efficiency regulations.

    Remote Digital Display

    Weigh materials sold by weight right from your forklift—these forks have an embedded scale that’s NTEP certified for accuracy. For easy viewing, clamp the remote display to your forklift’s dashboard or mast. The scale uses Bluetooth to send measurements. You can also link the scale to your smartphone or tablet to view, log, and export data from an app.
    To measure the weight of your load alone, place an empty pallet on the forks and press the tare button. Then either load up the pallet or remove it and pick up a different, pre-loaded pallet with the forks. The scale also has tilt compensation, so it’s accurate even if the mast is not perfectly vertical.
    Use these forks with any forklift equipped with an Industrial Truck Association (ITA) Class II carriage. They slide into forklift pockets just like any other forks. To minimize downtime, each fork has its own battery that lasts up to 75 hours on a single charge.
    Warning: Distribute your load evenly across the forks to prevent overloading one side or the tips. Never use to lift people or items over people.
