Forklift attachments are specialized tools that enhance the functionality of a forklift. They allow the forklift to handle a variety of loads and tasks beyond standard pallet lifting. Common attachments include fork extensions, sideshifters, and clamps, each designed for specific applications, such as moving bulky items or adjusting the position of loads. Using the right attachment can improve efficiency and safety in material handling operations. For instance, fork extensions increase the length of the forks for larger pallets, while sideshifters enable lateral movement of loads. Proper selection and maintenance of these attachments are essential for optimal performance.
