Forklift extensions are used when the load is longer or wider than the standard forklift forks, allowing for safer handling of oversized pallets, crates, or equipment. At Lifting365 USA, we supply certified extensions suitable for a variety of industrial and warehouse applications, helping operators maintain proper load balance in line with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178.

Forklift extensions come in a variety of lengths to suit different loads. According to safety regulations, extensions should never exceed 1.5 times the original fork length, as longer extensions reduce forklift stability and increase tipping risk. Our team can help you figure out which length is ideal for your specific forklift.

Fork extensions slide over the existing forks and are secured with locking pins or clamps, depending on the model. Ensure the extension fits snugly and the locking mechanism is fully engaged before lifting any load. We strongly recommend reading through the manufacturer’s specifications before use.
