Do you need to safely handle long or bulky loads with your forklift? Our forklift extensions are the best solution for industries across Ireland looking to extend their forklift reach without limiting control or stability.

They are built for performance. These easy to mount attachments are ideal for situations where your standard forks just aren’t long enough. Whether you are working in a busy warehouse, a fast-moving logistics hub, or on a manufacturing floor. They help stabilise oversized loads while maintaining the flexibility and manoeuvrability of your lift truck.

Each set of fork extensions is designed for strength, durability, and safety, ensuring you can move longer pallets, pipes, or bulky items with confidence. They're fully compliant with Irish and EU safety standards and trusted by forklift operators nationwide.

Forklift Fork Extensions

We supply high-quality extensions for forklifts in a range of lengths: 1500mm, 1650mm, 1800mm, 2000mm and 2400mm. Designed to make the most of your forklift investment, these fork extensions are ideal attachments for lifting loads that are longer than the forklift’s built-in forks. Quick and easy to attach, these forklift extenders offer long reach while retaining the manoeuvrability of the lift truck for conventional use, perfect for a wide range of jobs. A removable heel pin allows for drive-in entry, removing the need for manual fixing. This easy method of attaching the extenders also ensure that they are securely fastened to the forks each and every time – put simply, they take out the risk of errors through manual fitting.

Like everything sold by Lifting365, our forklift fork extenders are high quality, safe and durable. All our fork extensions are manufactured to conform to ISO 13284 British Standards, are CE marked and come supplied with a certificate of conformity to comply with the latest health and safety regulations. It is recommended that fork extensions should not exceed the forklift’s own forks by over 66% for safety reasons; this is why we offer such a wide range of lengths. Our customer service team can also advise you on the best length for your forklift, to ensure you lift safely and effectively.

faqs about forklift extensions

When should fork extensions be used?

Fork extensions should be used when standard forklift forks are not long enough to safely lift oversized or bulky loads, such as timber, pipes, or long pallets. They provide additional reach while maintaining stability when fitted and used correctly. At Lifting365, we supply certified fork extensions designed for a wide range of material handling tasks, helping operators work safely and efficiently across different site conditions.

How long can fork extensions be?

Fork extensions are available in a variety of lengths to suit different load sizes. For safety, extensions should not exceed one and a half times the length of the original forklift forks, as longer extensions can reduce stability and increase the risk of tipping. Our team can help you determine the most suitable length for your forklift and application.

Do fork extensions need to be certified in Ireland?

Yes. Fork extensions are classed as forklift attachments and must be suitable for their intended use, properly maintained, and examined by a competent person. In Ireland, this is governed by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work General Application Regulations 2007. All fork extensions supplied by Lifting365 are CE marked, fully compliant with these requirements, and supplied with guidance on safe installation and use. Our Forklift Extensions Safety Awareness Course also covers correct operation, inspection, and legal responsibilities.

Can I buy fork extensions with quick delivery in Ireland?

Standard fork extensions are typically dispatched within one to two working days, subject to stock availability and delivery location within Ireland. For urgent orders, our support team can provide up to date lead times and delivery updates.

Do forklift extensions affect lifting capacity?

Yes. Fork extensions increase the load centre, which reduces the forklift’s effective lifting capacity. Always check the forklift’s rated capacity and load chart before using extensions, and never exceed the reduced safe working load when handling longer or heavier loads.

How are forklift extensions attached?

Fork extensions slide over the existing forks and are secured using locking pins or heel restraints. This prevents unwanted movement during lifting and travel, helping to maintain safe and stable operation.
