Standard Forklift Fork Extensions
Fork-Co designs and manufactures Standard Forklift Fork Extensions with custom configurations,
with Lease & Rental Options, tailored to your exact application and equipment needs.
Standard Forklift Fork Extensions for Longer Load Support
Fork-Co’s Standard Forklift Fork Extensions increase the usable length of existing forklift forks, providing additional support for longer loads during lifting, transport, and positioning. These open-bottom extensions suit material handling applications where the load can be uniformly distributed along the extension length.
Standard extensions must not exceed 150% of the original fork length—for example, a 48-inch fork must not use an extension longer than 72 inches. Loads must not create concentrated loading beyond the tips of the forklift’s original forks.
Extension ratings are based on the maximum fork size specified for installation, at a load center equal to half the extension length. These extensions are not designed for tip loading or prying. Selecting the appropriate size requires matching the extension to the existing forks, load dimensions, and handling requirements.
Description & Usage
Fork-Co’s Standard Forklift Fork Extensions extend existing forks to support longer, uniformly distributed loads during loading, unloading, and material movement.
- Open-bottom design extends usable fork length
- Maximum extension length of 150% of the original fork length
- Requires uniformly distributed loads along the extension
- No concentrated loads beyond the original fork tips
- Rated at a load center equal to half the extension length
- Not intended for tip loading or prying
Match the extensions to the specified fork size and load requirements. The extension rating does not increase the forklift’s rated capacity.

Standard Fork Extensions
Fork extensions up to 96 inches long in stock in our Alvin, TX warehouse. Fork extensions are used to extend the usable length of forks. Open bottom extensions should not be longer than 50% of the original fork length. To properly fit fork extensions, tell us the thickness, width and blade length of your lift truck's forks. We also need to know the type of loads to be handled. Loads must be uniformly distributed along the length of the extension and must not have load concentrations beyond the tips of the truck's forks. Fork-Co extensions are stamped with product ID and load capacity, as well as the recommended fork size.
