Our Forklift Attachments Range
We supply a focused range of forklift truck attachments for common material handling tasks. Each product category is suited to a different application, so selecting the right attachment depends on the type of load, your fork dimensions and the working environment.
Forklift Fork Extensions
Forklift fork extensions are designed to extend the effective length of your existing forks so longer loads can be handled with greater support. They are commonly used for pallets, timber packs, steel lengths and other oversized materials where standard forks do not provide enough load coverage.
Forklift Tipping Skips
Forklift tipping skips are used for handling waste, scrap, offcuts and loose materials on site. They provide a practical solution for construction yards, warehouses, fabrication businesses and industrial environments where waste needs to be moved and tipped safely.
Forklift Lifting Jibs
Forklift lifting jibs are designed for lifting suspended loads where standard forks are not suitable. They are commonly used for handling bagged materials, equipment, beams and other awkward items that require controlled lifting from a hook point.
Forklift Wheelie Bin Handlers
Forklift wheelie bin handlers are designed for moving and tipping wheelie bins safely across warehouses, construction sites and industrial environments. They are a practical alternative to manual bin handling, suitable for operations where bins are regularly moved, emptied or repositioned across site.
Forklift Drum Grabs
Forklift drum grabs are designed for lifting and moving compatible drums using a forklift truck. They are commonly used in warehouses, factories, yards, depots and industrial sites where steel or plastic drums need to be transported safely while reducing manual handling.
Forklift Man Cages & Safety Cages
Forklift man cages and safety cages are designed for suitable raised access, maintenance and inspection tasks. Also known as forklift access platforms, forklift cages, working platforms or man baskets, they provide a practical solution for short-duration access work when used with a compatible forklift.
How to Choose the Right Forklift Attachment
Choosing the right forklift attachment starts with understanding your application. Different attachments are designed for different load types, and using the correct one helps improve both safety and efficiency.
Consider the Type of Load
If you are handling long or oversized loads, forklift fork extensions are often the most practical choice. If you are moving waste or bulk site materials, forklift tipping skips are usually more suitable. If you need to lift suspended items, forklift lifting jibs are designed for that purpose. If you regularly handle or tip wheelie bins, forklift wheelie bin handlers offer a safer and more efficient solution than manual handling. If you need to move compatible drums around site, forklift drum grabs are designed for forklift-mounted drum handling. For suitable raised access work, forklift man cages and safety cages provide a dedicated platform option for maintenance, inspection and access tasks.
Check Fork Dimensions and Fitment
Forklift attachments must be matched correctly to your forklift. Important factors include fork width, fork length, fork section size and the intended lifting capacity. If you are unsure, it is always best to check your truck details and fork dimensions before ordering.
Match the Attachment to the Job
Forklift attachments are not universal solutions. The safest and most effective setup will depend on your working environment, the type of material being handled and the size of the forklift itself. Using the right attachment for the job helps reduce downtime and improves day-to-day usability.
