Forklift forks and forks extensions at best price
When is it necessary to replace the forklift forks? These are a safety component, inspect the forklift forks before using them. The ISO-5057 standard specifies the control method, repair by welding is not recommended. If the horizontal or vertical thickness drops below 90% of the initial thickness, then it is necessary to change the forks. If the forks have lost 10% of their thickness then they have 20% less load capacity than the initial capacity. In many cases, the manufacturer of the forklift forks specifies the minimum thickness of the forks. Classification according to the FEM standard for forklift forks: FEM2, FEM2A and FEM2B class forks have a height of 400mm and a drop of 76mm for FEM2/FEM2A class forks and 152mm for FEM2B class forks FEM3, FEM3A and FEM3B class forks have a height of 500mm and a drop of 76mm for FEM2/FEM2A class forks and 203mm for FEM2B class forks FEM4, FEM4A and FEM4B class forks have a height of 610mm and a drop of 127mm for FEM2/FEM2A class forks and 254mm for FEM2B class forks Methods to prevent fork wear: Don't lift loads with just one fork, they are designed to work in pairs. Do not drag the forks, this blunts their most sensitive part. Do not push or pull objects using the forks, this will cause the forks to deform and bend. Don't hit the forks on the floor, lower them easily. Violent impact with the floor can cause microcracks. Do not exceed the maximum permitted load. It is a safety problem for the entire forklift and can cause deformation of the forks or the appearance of microcracks. If necessary, use a forklift with a larger capacity.

Extensions, fork extensions for forklifts
Regardless of whether you need standard extensions or for special cases, we offer fork extensions according to your requirements.
Fork extensions are used to extend the capacity of the forks that the forklift is equipped with, thus, you will be able to handle oversized, bulkier or longer goods.
Forklift fork extensions are made of quality materials for safety in the handling of goods.
The recommendation is that the dimensions of the forklift forks should be at least 60% of the length of the extensions.
We offer an extensive range of fork extensions for forklifts.
When you make an offer request for forklift fork extensions, please specify:
- The length of the forks used on the forklift.
- The section of the forks (length and height of the section).
- Extension blocking mode (manual/automatic).
- Capacity of fork extensions.
For safe use, it is recommended that the length of the forklift forks be 60% of the length of the extensions.
The capacity of the forklift fork extensions must not exceed the capacity of the forks.
Extensions for forklift forks have a length from 1.2 meters to 3 meters and can lift from 1.5 tons to 4 tons.
The sections of the forklift forks have the following dimensions (millimeters):
- 80 x 40
- 100 x 40
- 100 x 50
- 120 x 40
- 125 x 45
- 125 x 50
The fork extensions fit quickly and easily on the forklift.
To install them, remove the fork heel pin and insert it into the extensions, once fully inserted, lift and refit the pin.
Fork extensions are designed to provide occasional long reach and stabilization and cargo loading capabilities.
Allows a stable and safe handling of loads, which are longer than the forks of the forklift, while maintaining the maneuverability of the forklift for operation under normal conditions.
Fork extensions can have a closed section at the heel, ensuring fit for any fork drop.
For durability and strength, fork extensions can have a rounded tip, while the shape allows for easy loading and unloading.
Extensions for forklift blades are made of durable materials and have a U-type profile.
Fork extensions for forklifts are ideal for the safe transport of non-standard loads whose length is longer than the standard one.
At the same time, the maneuverability of the forklift is maintained, allowing you to use your storage equipment at maximum capacity. Using our equipment, you can operate non-standard loads of oversized dimensions.
What advantages advantages do the fork extenders offer:
- The ability to significantly expand the functionality of the forklift with minimal means;
- Fast and reliable installation;
- Strong design;
- Ease of use and easy maintenance, they are easy to mount on standard forks and are secured with stop pins;
- The forklift fork extensions are made of 5-8 mm thick sheet steel, with lower support plates up to 10 mm thick;
- The ends of the extensions are round, which allows you to transport pallets and other products without fear of damaging them;
How are fork extensions mounted on forklifts?
Fork extensions slide over the normal forks of a forklift, rest on top of them and lock under a fork support.
Some fork extensions have a loop welded to the end to keep them in place.
How do fork extensions work?
Extensions extend the forks to increase their length and are used for the forklift trucks are easy to use.
The forks must be placed as far as possible under the load. Slide the forks into the pallet until they are completely under the load. The forks must be at least two thirds of the length of the load. Be careful that the forks do not cross over to the other side, where the pallets are stacked tightly.
What are the forklift extensions called?
Extensions for forklift forks are also called fork extensions.
When can you use fork extensions?
Fork extensions are designed for the occasional need to handle large and bulky loads. An extra set of longer forks is often the better choice. Fork extensions directly affect the stability, capacity and safety of forklift operation. If fork extensions are to be used, good safety procedures must be followed.
