Side-Shifting & Rotating Fork Positioners

Fork-Co designs and manufactures Hook-To-Pin Side-Shifting & Rotating Fork Positioners with custom configurations,

with Lease & Rental Options, tailored to your exact application and equipment needs.

Hook-To-Pin Side-Shifting & Rotating Fork Positioners provide a practical solution for converting forklifts equipped with pin-type forks to an ITA hook-type configuration while adding the benefits of side shifting, fork positioning, and load rotation. These versatile attachments improve material handling efficiency by allowing operators to accurately position forks, shift loads laterally, and rotate materials without leaving the operator compartment.

Designed for demanding industrial environments, Hook-To-Pin Side-Shifting & Rotating Fork Positioners increase forklift versatility while reducing load handling time, product damage, and operator fatigue. Fork-Co designs and manufactures custom solutions to match your forklift, application, and operational requirements.

Hook-To-Pin Side Shifting Fork Positioners

Hook-to-pin type fork positioners and side shifters are used where the heel of the fork could bind or hang up during extraction from under loads, such as lumber loading or trailer loading.

Rotating Fork Positioner

This attachment is built using our FORK-CO Pallet Fork Clamp as a base. The differences between clamps and positioners are that positioners use smaller bore cylinders than clamps to reduce the stresses on the arms, and positioners have a smaller opening range. Fork positioners are not intended to squeeze and clamp the load. Pallet fork clamps are for that purpose.
