Fork Extensions - Heavy Duty Range (EFEX) manufactured from 6mm steel. Ideal for extending any forklift's reach, allowing larger and longer loads to be lifted and transported safely. Our Fork Extensions are manufactured in the UK and available from stock today. All our Fork Extensions are supplied with a 3-YEAR WARRANTY and are fully tested and certified.
Manufactured from 6mm thick durable steel in a folded channel design to offer a low-cost yet heavy-duty and strong set of forklift fork extensions. The Channel design ensures the fork extensions do not "ride Up" the back of the fork, which can potentially occur with other design styles of extensions for forklifts. The loading tip of the Forklift Extensions is finished with a rounded profile and makes positioning under the load easy connection of the fork extensions to the forklift is achieved via a heel pin that offers quick "drive-in entry" removing the need for the forklift operator to engage manually with the forklift heavy duty fork extensions. Unlike many cheaper options online these quality extensions offer many design benefits to aid in lifting and moving awkward-shaped objects.
Why Use Forklift Fork Extensions? Fork Extensions are designed to help stabilise and offer safe handling of nonstandard loads when the standard forklift-fitted tines are not long enough.
Safety Note - Even though Forklift Extensions are used to extend the forklift's reach, overbalancing can happen and the rear of the forklift could rise off the floor and tip forward. It is stated that all fork extensions should not increase the length over the original forks by more than 66% also, the width of the new Fork Extension should not be wider than 12.4mm (1/2") If in any doubt please reference the manual of the Forklift being used. Example - If the original fork tines are 1200mm long then the new Fork extensions for the forklift should be no longer than 1992mm.
