Frequently Asked Questions
Are these fork extensions suitable for my existing forklift?
They are designed for use with forklifts whose fork sections match the stated maximum width and depth. Check the fork section size and rated capacity of your truck to ensure compatibility with the selected extension size and load rating.
How do I choose the correct length of fork extension?
Select a length that provides adequate support to your longest loads without excessively increasing the overhang. Common choices range from 1200 mm to 2400 mm, and the correct option depends on the typical size and weight of the items you handle.
Do the fork extensions affect the safe working load of my forklift?
Yes, you must always take into account both the rated capacity of the extensions and the capacity of the truck at the relevant load centre. Never exceed the lower of the two ratings, and ensure that extended loads remain within the safe operating limits specified by the forklift manufacturer.
