Installation is simple: Slide the extension fully onto your existing forks. Ensure they are seated correctly. Secure using the locking pins or retaining straps (depending on the model). No tools are required.
Your fork extensions must match the width of your forklift tynes and should not exceed 150% of the original fork length, as per Australian safety guidelines. If you’re unsure, our team can help you select the right size.
Forklift fork extensions are designed to temporarily increase the length of your existing forklift tynes so you can safely lift longer, bulkier, or oversized loads without upgrading your forklift.
Our extensions are made from high-strength steel with reinforced construction to ensure safe lifting of heavy and oversized loads in industrial environments.
We supply a range of light and heavy-duty forklift fork extensions available in 1600mm, 1800mm, 2100mm and 2400mm lengths and multiple widths to suit standard forklift tynes. Simply measure your fork width and length and choose the correct matching extension.
