Fork extensions offer a simple solution to the problem of an extra-large pallet or a load that is too large for your forklift truck's standard-length forks.
The fork extensions simply slide over your existing forks, adding a bit of extra length to better support the load. The extensions are secured with heel pins so they can't slide off when in use.
Before selecting your fork extensions, measure the width and thickness of your fork truck's forks. Then check the dimensions of the fork extensions to ensure they will fit. The extension length MUST NOT exceed 66% of the forks.
You MUST refer to the fork truck manufacturer's manual to ensure you do not exceed the loading capacity of the truck.

Fork Extensions
If your forklift is lacking a bit of length in the fork department, we can help you get that little bit of extra reach with the aid of an Invicta forklift extension.
Available in a variety of sizes, the various high-quality forklift extensions do exactly what the name suggests and can easily allow you to handle loads that are simply too big for a standard fork.
Choose from the following options:
Lifting jibs can be extremely useful, allowing for flexible lifting of long, bulky loads. These jibs simply slide over the forks of your forklift and secure in place with a safety chain.
The swivel hook can then be attached to the item you need to lift at varying points on the jib, providing further lifting flexibility and freedom of movement.
Invicta also specialise in extending jibs too, providing additional length to the arm while also supplying a sturdy, reliable mount that won’t buckle under the pressure.
Also known as “man baskets”, these high-rise platforms provide flexible accessibility for off-the-ground working, much in the way a traditional cherry picker does.
Providing a safe, adjustable stand for elevated working, these easy-to-use access platforms make for an efficient solution to working at height. Simply attach to your forklift and away you go!
Available in single-person and dual use varieties, the forklift “man basket” access platforms offer the perfect solution to high-level access, complete with bright orange colouration for visibility.
The varying models also include numerous other safety features – such as handrails, self-draining non-slip floor and harness attachment rings – providing increased stability and traction even in adverse weather conditions.
