Forklift Attachments & Extensions: Buy or Hire Today

jodie Products

Forklifts have numerous uses in all kinds of different working environments. They're great for lifting, lowering, and transporting large goods; if you've got a forklift access platform, they can even help you and your workers to access high-up, hard-to-reach places and safely complete a variety of different tasks.

Sometimes, though, forklifts need a little extra help to get the job done properly. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we stock an extensive range of forklift attachments and extensions to buy or hire - these assorted items are great for carrying out specialised tasks with your forklift, or simply enabling your truck to handle larger/longer loads.

Fork Extensions

Our high-quality fork extensions for forklift trucks come in a range of different lengths to give you that bit of extra reach you need to keep longer pallets and other large loads under control. Browse forklift extensions >

Other Forklift Attachments

Our other forklift attachments include swivel hooks (which turn your forklift into something like a miniature crane) and mounted jibs (which help your forklift truck to cope with heavier loads). Browse forklift attachments >

Visit our Site Lifting & Handling page for more lifting/handling solutions - practically all of our products are now available both to buy and to hire.

The BLOODHOUND Project: There's an App for That!

mike General News

As we've proudly stated again and again over the last few months, SafetyLiftinGear is the official supplier of lifting / material handling products to The BLOODHOUND Project, an attempt to both break the land speed record and inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers.

Of course, even if we weren't involved in The BLOODHOUND Project, we'd still be closely tracking its progress - after all, who wouldn't be interested in a supersonic car that can travel at 1000mph?

One of the latest developments from Team BLOODHOUND is the creation of a mobile app that allows you to get the inside scoop on The BLOODHOUND Project and related topics like the history of the land speed record and the science behind the car that will hopefully break it.

The app is available for iOS and Android devices - get it from the App Store or Google Play now! It costs less than a pound, and all proceeds will be invested back into the BLOOHOUND education programme, so your pennies will be going towards a very good cause! Click here to find out more about the BLOODHOUND Blast app.

SafetyLiftinGear is an official partner of The BLOODHOUND Project, supplying the lifting equipment and material handling products that will be used in the construction of the BLOODHOUND supersonic car. More info here.
