Forklift Attachments

What Are Forklift Attachments?

Forklift attachments are specially designed accessories that expand the capabilities of your existing forklift. Instead of just handling pallets, you can lift bins, containers, long materials or even personnel — all with the right attachment.

Each attachment we supply is engineered for ease of use, built for daily conditions, and supported by safety features and load ratings. They’re easy to fit, reliable to operate, and made to help your team work more efficiently with the equipment you already have.

Forklift Attachments List: Popular Options Available

We carry a practical range of attachments to suit all types of lifting, moving and site access tasks. Here are some of the most in-demand options from our forklift attachments list:

Forklift Jibs

Ideal for lifting long or awkward loads using slings or chains. Great for transporting beams, equipment or machinery that doesn’t sit on a pallet.

Forklift Cages

Designed for safe personnel access across your warehouse. Includes Work Platform Cages for maintenance tasks and Order Picker Cages for stock picking operations at higher levels.

Forklift Bin Tipper

Includes standard units and Wheelie Bin Tippers for quick, controlled waste disposal in warehouses, workshops or outdoor yards.

Container Ramp

A must-have for any site loading or unloading containers. These ramps allow safe forklift access into shipping containers and raised platforms.

Forklift Broom

An efficient way to keep warehouse floors clean. Sweep up debris quickly without manual effort or downtime.

Forklift Slippers

Extend your fork length to safely lift oversized or long loads. Ideal for sheet materials, timber or long pallets.

Rotating Plastic Bin & Base

Great for agricultural and industrial use. Allows for controlled rotation and emptying of bulk goods.

Crane Lifting Cage

For sites using both forklifts and cranes. These cages provide safe lifting of personnel or materials in construction and maintenance areas.

All products are supplied with clear safe working load ratings, safety instructions and compatibility details. If you’re not sure which option suits your setup, our team can guide you through the right solution.

Choosing the Right Forklift Attachment

Choosing the best attachment depends on your application and your forklift’s specifications. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

What are you lifting?

Consider the size, weight and shape of the load. Some attachments are designed for bins and drums, while others suit long materials or personnel access.

How often will you use it?

Daily-use tools like brooms or bin tippers may need faster connection systems and reinforced construction.

Safety and compliance

Any attachment used for lifting people or elevated loads should be rated with a safe working load and compliant with current safety guidelines.

Your site layout

Consider access zones, turning clearance and any need for container ramps, platforms or picking cages.
