Contact the professionals at Midwest Material Handling for information on a wide range of Forklift and Fork Truck accessories. There are a wide range of available forklift options that can turn your forklift into a material handling device for a range of unique applications. Some of the more common accessories are…

Carpet Poles and Carpet Rams

Occasionally referred to as a Fork Mounted Rug Ram, transports long, odd shaped rolls of carpet using a standard-length Carpet Pole. These easy-to-use Carpet Poles simply attach, like most forklift accessories do, to the mast of the fork truck. The most standard length for a Carpet Pole is 144”L. One important consideration when using these is the carpet roll must not hang over the end of the pole. The roll must make full contact with the pole.

Fork Extensions

These are one of the handiest Forklift Accessories on the market. Extend the length of your forks by simply slipping each extension over each fork. Most can be put on by hand. A recent innovation in fork extensions is the advent of the high strength steel extension… these extensions are up to 50% lighter than standard extensions while maintaining the same load ratings. One important consideration though… for safety, OSHA requires that the Fork Extensions must not extend by more that 50% of the overall fork length.
