Attachments for your forklift: the complete overview

With the right attachments, your forklift becomes a custom tool: clamping rolls, tilting drums, handling two pallets at once. Here is the overview — including the effect on residual capacity that is often forgotten.

Sideshift and fork positioner: the basics

Of sideshift shifts the forks sideways and saves maneuvering time every day; the fork positioner adjusts the fork spacing hydraulically to varying pallet sizes. Standard or highly sought after on virtually all our new machines — read the explanation in buy sideshift for fork positioner.

Clamps: rolls, bales and white goods

Paper roll clamps rotating and clamping rollers without damage; bale clamps bales of pressed material (paper, textiles, plastics); white goods and box clamps moving appliances and stacked boxes without a pallet. Crucial is the correct clamping pressure — adjustable per product type, ensuring you do not damage anything.

Rotators, tilters and drum rotators

A rotator rotates the load 360° — essential for emptying bins and crates in the food and recycling industries. Drum clamps and tilters packages and empty drums are inspected. For bulk goods, there are scoops; for long loads fork extensions (watch the load center of gravity!).

Double pallet forks and special applications

Single/double pallet forks moving two pallets side by side — interesting when loading trucks in shipping, see also loading and unloading of trucks. Furthermore, there are crane arms, work platforms (under certain conditions), and snow plows for site maintenance.

The forgotten effect: remaining capacity

Each attachment adds weight and shifts the load center of gravity forward. A 2.5-ton truck with a paper roll clamp sometimes lifts only 1,600–1,800 kg. Therefore, always have the calculate remaining capacity before you order — we do this by default with every quote and supply the corresponding capacity plate (mandatory).

Hydraulics and controls

Attachments require additional hydraulic functions (3rd/4th valve) and the correct flow rate. When configuring a new machine, we set this up correctly right away; we can also install a lot of equipment on existing trucks afterwards. We work with A-brand equipment such as Cascade and deliver everything fully assembled, tested, and inspected at your electric forklifts of diesel forklifts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can attachments be fitted to any forklift?

Usually yes, provided the hydraulics (3rd/4th function) and capacity are sufficient. We check compatibility and remaining capacity before we deliver or install anything.

How much capacity do I lose due to a clamp?

Depending on the weight and thickness of the attachment, easily 20 to 35 percent. That is why we always formally calculate the residual capacity and supply an updated capacity plate.

Is a new capacity plate mandatory for an attachment?

Yes. Every configuration change requires a capacity plate that states the actual lifting capacity with that attachment.

Can you install equipment on my existing truck?

Yes, also on other brands. We assemble, test, and inspect on-site or in our workshop in Heijningen.
