Forklift attachments
Forklift operations often require extra attachments, in place of the regular forks. As forklift trucks are used across a vast range of industries and applications, there are many types of attachments designed to assist specific forklift tasks.
Forklift attachments are made to lift a particular working load limit (W.L.L). The Working Load Limit will be clearly displayed on the forklift attachment or its’ data plate for example 2 Tonne.
Some types of forklift attachments include:
Things to consider
When purchasing forklift attachments there are hazards that the potential buyer should consider to ensure safe lifting. Potential overloading of a forklift attachment which adds extra weight, reducing the overall lifting capacity of the truck. The difference in load centre using extendable attachments will change the load centre of the forklift truck, increasing the chance of it tipping. Forklift license holders must be re-trained to safely operate the truck using each new forklift attachment.
The WorkSafe Queensland website states that the design and manufacture of the forklift truck and its associated features must meet Australian Standards AS 2359.1 Powered industrial trucks, and a manufacturer’s data plate is attached. It is also important that forklifts and attachments are regularly inspected by a competent inspector for any deformation or cracked welds.
