You have many alternatives and attachments offered for lift trucks. While the majority of attachments are manufactured to be used on regular lift trucks, there are some made to be utilized on reach trucks and VNA. It is really important to note that OSHA needs approval for any attachment which should be approved for use by the specific lift truck manufacturer.
The sideshift attachment is considered to be standard forklift equipment. The sideshift device allows the fork carriage to slide left and right as well as allow for more accurate load placement. The sideshift allows the operator to be more versatile with the equipment.
The fork positioner is another attachment choice that enables the operator to adjust the forks' distance without having to get off of the truck. This particular attachment is mostly used in high volume operations where there is a huge array of pallet and crate sizes handled.
Fork pivots makes it possible for the forks and carriage to pivot and rotate. These attachments can be specifically designed for transporting and dumping hoppers. These attachments are very useful for many industrial applications.

Then, the load is pushed off the platform when the truck reaches the destination.
Drum attachments are available in numerous shapes and sizes, with some models able to handle 55 gallon drums. There are several smaller versions of a paper roll clamps that go around the roll and also are capable of a full 360 degree rotation. There are other types of drum attachments which could pick up various drums all at once.
