The forklift attachment provides a safe and effective solution for lifting many items including construction materials, machinery and work tools.
It is a low cost and highly sustainable way to carry out lifting tasks that might otherwise require more complicated lifting methods.

It has an angled lifting arm that means the forklift attachment can reach over and beyond obstacles and under low ceilings or obstacles, such as scaffolding or window apertures.
Flexible lifting solution
The cranked angled lifting beam forklift attachment has a maximum safe working load of 1,000kg.
It lifting accessory weighs only 55kg and has a carry handle to make it easier to lift and transport.
The device can be easily and quickly fixed securely to forks and is fitted with a lifting bail from which a range of lifting accessories can be attached, including glass lifters and winches.
For companies that operate telehandlers or forklift trucks, the cranked angled lifting beam forklift attachment is the ideal solution for lifting any object that is of a non-standard weight or shape, or is not stored in a standard way, such as on a pallet.
When combined with other attachments, such as vacuum lifters, or stone grabs, it also becomes an excellent low-cost materials moving and installation device.
