Forklift Truck Attachment Essentials
Most forklift owners do not exclusively use them for lifting and lowering pallets. Here are the most common attachments we see that benefit forklift users:
Forklift Hook Attachment
has many different purposes, it's mainly used as a connective tool that allows you to connect drum lifting attachments. It also allows you to attach a chain sling, webbing slings or other items with anchorage points to your forklift. The hook attachment capacity ranges from 1t to 5t depending on what variant you select.
Extendable Forklift Jib
Need to place loads into a lorry or far reaching spaces? The Extendable forklift Jib is a great solution, it provides a reach of up to 3m. Multi hook positions, allow you to lift anything within its grasp. Zinc plated heel pins prevent the jib from accidentally slipping off your forklift forks. For low headroom applications, our Low Profile Extending Forklift Jib is the perfect alternative.
Drum Grab Lifter
Our LES Drum Grab Forklift Attachment is a powerhouse when it comes to high usage barrel grabbing applications. Its thick steel allows it to hold 680kgs and its intense powder coating protects it from the elements. This can be used outside but be sure to follow the maintenance instructions. You don't need to have any special attachments in order for this to work, this will fit onto most forklift truck forks. If you're moving drums in your warehouse, this is a must for safe operation, reducing the need for manual handling.
Vertical Drum Lifter Three Point
If you can't grab a drum in the middle, then try a top lifting drum lifter like our Three Point Vertical Drum Lifter. Pair this with a forklift hook attachment and lifting shackle these are lighter than our drum grab lifter and therefore the three point lifter is recommended every time.
Forklift Tipping Skip ICUS 
Many manufacturers manufacture their skips with thinner steel. And you guessed it - they, which can break, bend and have reduced longevity.
In contrast, the Invicta Forklift Tipping Skip has nearly twice the thickness of steel than other inferior skips and is made in the UK. Their largest option holds 2.2t in weight whilst holding 1.8m3 of space. This is a great addition for moving material like sand or waste disposal, due to its automatic tipping function.

Forklift Attachment FAQs

yes, forklift truck attachments are subject to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), which require proper inspection, maintenance, and operator training.
Yes, forklift operators must receive additional training specific to each attachment they use, as attachments can change the forklift’s handling characteristics and present new risks.
Forklift attachments should be inspected before each use and undergo formal thorough examinations at intervals not exceeding 12 months—or more frequently if required under LOLER, based on risk assessment and frequency of use.
