Forklift Attachments

There are various attachments you can consider buying with your rough terrain forklift. Among these are side shifts, allowing loads to be placed more precisely because they enable the operator to move the load from one side to another without having to move the fork lift. Tilt masts are among the other attachments that can be purchased. These make it much easier to load the forklift on uneven ground. They also improve stability, an important safety factor that is worth taking into consideration.

Ask your rough terrain forklift provider about other attachments that may improve its operation. Whether or not you need some of these attachments will depend on the type of material you want your rough terrain forklift to handle. Tongs that can pick up 55-gallon drums and flat panels that make it easy to lift objects that have not been placed on pallets are just a couple of the attachments available for fork lifts.

Other safety features should also be considered by buyers of rough terrain forklifts. Most fork lift vehicles have such standard safety features as flashing amber lights and back-up beepers. Less obvious but also important for forklifts are ergonomic inclusions such as adjustable seats and controls designed for easy operation, resulting in happier operators and fewer injury risks.
