Full Taper Lumber & Plywood Forks for ITA Class II, III & IV Carriages

Fork-Co’s Full Taper Lumber & Plywood Forks are forklift forks designed to lift lumber bundles, plywood stacks, and other sheet goods with limited clearance underneath. The taper begins near the heel and runs to a thin, squared chisel tip that helps operators slide the forks beneath the load with less risk of marking the material during entry.

The full bottom taper lets the chisel tip sit flush with the floor, making these forks useful for picking up unpalletized bundles directly from ground-level storage or staging areas. Operators can use them to unload incoming materials, feed production lines, or stage finished bundles for shipment.

Fork-Co offers fully tapered forks for ITA Class II, Class III, and Class IV hook-type carriages, with custom configurations to match your equipment and loads. Lease and rental options are available.

Class Options and Configurations

Class II Full Tapered Fork
(16" Tall Carriage)

Often referred to as Lumber Forks or Plywood Forks, these fork tines are different than standard taper forks in the sense that the taper starts near the heel and continues to the tip of the fork. Tips on fully tapered forks are typically squared off, with a chisel tip, making them on the tips thinner than standard forks. The purpose of this style fork is to effectively and efficiently lift bundles of wood building material without damaging the load with a forged finish or narrower contact surface. FTP Style Forks are also used frequently when "scooping" unpalletized loads directly off the ground or floor. The Full Bottom Taper allows the chisel tip to sit directly on the ground to be effective in this application.

Class III Full Tapered Fork
(20" Tall Carriage)

Often referred to as Lumber Forks or Plywood Forks, these fork tines are different than standard taper forks in the sense that the taper starts near the heel and continues to the the tip of the fork. Tips on fully tapered forks are typically squared off, with a chisel tip, making them on the tips thinner than standard forks. The purpose of this style fork is to effectively and efficiently lift bundles of wood building material without damaging the load with a forged finish or narrower contact surface. FTP Style Forks are also used frequently when "scooping" unpalletized loads directly off the ground or floor. The Full Bottom Taper allows the chisel tip to sit directly on the ground to be effective in this application.

Description & Usage

Use Full Taper Forks when lumber, plywood, or layered materials sit close to the floor and require a thin fork tip for pickup. The taper extends along the blade so the tip can enter under the bundle while the forks support it from below.

Full bottom taper — Runs from near the heel to the tip for low-clearance entry.
Squared chisel tip — Sits flush with the floor to help the forks slide beneath unpalletized bundles.
ITA hook-type mounting — Available for Class II (16-inch), Class III (20-inch), and Class IV (25-inch) carriage mounting heights.
Custom fork configurations — Fork-Co can help match blade dimensions and rated capacity to your forklift and the materials you handle.
