Fork-Mount Lifting Adapters
 A |  B |  C |
 D |
Turn your forklift into a crane to lift loads that aren’t on a pallet. These adapters slide onto the forks, so you can secure and lift heavy loads from above instead of from beneath. All have a safety strap that secures to the forklift carriage for added security.
Adapters with one fork pocket are easier to install and transport than adapters with two fork pockets. Adapters with two fork pockets are better for lifting longer loads. They evenly distribute the load’s weight across the two forks.
Styles A, C, and D secure to the forks with thumb screws. The thumb screws allow for precise positioning and can be adjusted to fit different fork sizes. Style D lift loads with a central shackle. They have a swivel hook on each end to lift and balance long loads, similar to how a lifting beam works.
Style B secure to the forks with an auto-tension hook that presses against the fork as more weight is applied. No screwing and unscrewing required.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Forklift Booms
Attach these booms to a forklift to handle long, cumbersome loads. They are labeled with capacity for each hook position. First hook position is measured from the fork pocket end.
Note: Capacities are approximate and depend on the type and load capabilities of the forklift used. Check with the manufacturer of your forklift for load capabilities before using.
Style D is designed for tall loads where more bottom clearance is needed. It has three hook positions on the adjustable length section spaced 12" apart. The fixed section has three hook positions spaced 6" apart.
Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

A bolt fastened with a nut and cotter pin makes these shackles more secure than screw-pin shackles. Also known as anchor and bow shackles, the wide body provides room to attach multiple connectors.
Galvanized steel shackles have a thick coating for corrosion resistance.
Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the shackle can lift is significantly reduced.

Rotating for easy positioning before a load is applied, these have a latch to ensure that rope, chain, and fittings won't separate from the hook when the load slackens. The hook opening accommodates large anchor points and allows chain to move freely through the closed hook.
Note: Capacities are for vertical lifting only.
