Many items will be lifted from the center-top of the forks anyway giving a good amount of lifting capacity from this position.

In certain positions the amount of lifting capacity is reduced because the load will inevitably be further away from the load

center.

The benefit of the adjustable fork mounted hook is that because is can be moved along the forks length its lifting capacity

can be at the forklifts maximum capacity if the attachment is placed in the correct position. The only restriction then is the

size and width of the load being lifted, it must not be touching the forklifts carriage when lifted to ensure the load is lifted

evenly and without getting damaged.

The overall size of the adjustable attachment is smaller than the fixed attachment this is important to keep in mind for storage

of your attachments when they are not in use. The fixed mounted hook is larger in size and will take up more space when

storing it. The adjustable hook is much more compact as it is one bar which slides into both forks. This is more compact and

will improve storage capacities.

A forklift mounted hook can be used to lift those awkward, heavy objects that a single person cannot lift. Even if is a small

item, attaching it to the hook is quick and easy. Avoid lifting awkward loads as much as possible this will benefit workers in

the long run as injuries can sometimes be due to cumulative strain from repetitive lifting.

Care should be given when attaching the load to the hook to avoid hitting the tips of the forks as these can be a source of

injury to workers. Workers attaching or removing loads should be wearing safety gear such as a helmet for protection.

These forklift attachments suit many different industries from factories, mining, construction, steel fabrication and scrap yards

for moving car parts, the list goes on as to where these attachments can be used they are versatile and durable and will easily

last many years. This is a great attachment to have on forklifts as it utilises the forklifts own lifting abilities and makes lifting

more quick and easy, these should definitely be considered when looking for hook attachments for your forklift.
