KLETON Fork Extensions are lift truck attachments designed to increase your forklift's effective fork length, making it easier to handle oversized, uniformly distributed loads. This easy-to-use, slide-on fork extension is built for warehouses and job sites that regularly move large or awkwardly shaped materials safely and efficiently.
Key Features:
- Slide-On Design: Easy to install and remove from existing forks

- Fork Thickness: Accommodates forks with a maximum thickness of 2 inches
- Length Limit: Extension may not extend more than 50% beyond the existing fork
- Capacity Note: Installing fork extensions affects the truck's rated capacity, and any modifications affecting capacity or safe operation require written approval from the forklift manufacturer, with capacity/operation plates or decals updated accordingly
Ideal For:
- Warehouses and distribution centers handling oversized or bulky freight
- Lift truck operators needing added reach for uniformly distributed loads
- Facilities requiring a pre-use inspection process in line with CSA safety standards for lift trucks
