Forklift Car Mover – 2000kg
Delivery within 20 Working Days*
A forklift car mover lets your forklift driver pick up a car by its front wheel and tow it into position, so nobody has to sit in the car or push it by hand. Two articulating arms close around the tyre and grip it without damaging it, and the low profile head slides in under the front bumper.
Once the wheel is lifted, the head pivots on an oilite bearing, so you can tow the car wherever it needs to go. The arms are spring-loaded and return to their starting position once released. Because nobody needs to open a door to get in or out, you can park cars closer together and fit more into your yard or workshop. The car mover fits most makes and models, and suits garages, body shops, scrap yards and impound yards.

Before You Order
Check your forks first. The car mover takes forks up to 130mm wide and 60mm thick, set to a 420mm spread measured across the outside of the forks. Then give your forklift dealer the car mover's weight (133kg) and horizontal centre of gravity (1219mm) so they can confirm your truck can handle it, and check that your forklift is suitable for towing.
Delivery is usually within 20 working days. Not sure it suits your forklift? Send us your forklift details and fork sizes and we'll check before you order.
Other Towing and Lifting Attachments
To move trailers, bowsers and other wheeled equipment rather than cars, the forklift tow hitch adds a 50mm ball and pin to your forks. For loads that hang from a hook, see our forklift jibs, or browse all our forklift attachments.
Forklift Car Mover FAQs
Does the car mover need hydraulics?

Will it fit my forklift?
It fits forklifts with forks up to 130 x 60mm that can be set to a 420mm spread. Measure your forks before you order, or send us the sizes and we'll check.
What vehicles can it move?
Its universal design suits most makes and models of car. If you want to move vans or other larger vehicles, ask us before you order.
