This low profile forklift carpet boom is built for handling stacked rolls, such as loading and unloading carpet and vinyl rolls from a lorry. Its low profile gives the driver a clearer view of the load, and it mounts on your existing forks, so you can switch between pallets and rolls with little downtime.
It's made in the UK by Contact Attachments from EN19T high-grade steel, with a leading-edge nose cone that guides the pole into the roll core without damaging the roll.

Every size takes forks up to 140 x 55mm, with a 730mm fork spread. The boom has a lost load centre of 1140mm, which reduces your forklift's rated capacity, so check the truck can carry your heaviest roll with the boom fitted.
Choosing the Right Boom
Pick a pole diameter that fits inside your roll's core, with a load capacity above your heaviest roll, and a pole length to suit the roll. If you're unsure, send us your roll length, core size and weight with your forklift make and model through our quote form, and we'll confirm the right model before you order.
Not handling stacked rolls? The underslung forklift carpet boom keeps the roll closer to the truck for everyday roll handling. Compare both in our forklift carpet booms range.
