Forklift Forks and Extensions

Forklift Forks and Fork Extensions Engineered for Every Load and Length

Forklift forks are the primary load bearing component on any lift truck, so matching the right style, length, and capacity to the job is what keeps freight moving without damage or downtime. This selection of forks and fork extensions sits alongside the full Hydraulics & Lifting lineup at Helmar Parts, covering every class, mounting style, and application a repair shop or fleet needs.

OEM Compatible Forklift Forks and Extensions Across Every Class and Style

The catalog spans block forks, Class Two, Class Three, and Class Four tapered forks in both standard and full tapered and polished finishes, plus shaft mounted forks, lumber forks, load back rests, rug and carpet rams, and fork extensions, with fit options from Universal and OEM applications such as Nissan. Standard forklift forks typically run 4 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches thick, are available in lengths from 48 inches to 96 inches, and carry capacity ratings up to 5,160 lbs per pair at a specified load center, while fork extensions slide over existing forks and lock in place with pins to add up to 6 feet of reach. Extensions are engineered to comply with ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 standards and cannot exceed 1.5 times the original fork length, with heavy duty boxed extensions rated for a 4,000 lbs capacity. Forks mount via hook or pin style depending on the model and class, and choosing the correct fit, thickness, and capacity for the load type, whether that's bricks, drums, coils, or oversized pallets, keeps handling fast and stable across the warehouse floor.

Forklift Forks & Fork Extensions FAQs

How do I know what capacity rating I need?

Forks and extensions must be rated to equal or exceed the forklift's maximum capacity per pair at the specified load center, so always confirm capacity before installing.

When should forks be replaced?

Forks should be replaced once the heel wears down 10% or more, since that level of wear reduces capacity by roughly 20% and increases the risk of load slippage.

How long can a fork extension be?

Extensions cannot exceed 1.5 times the length of the original fork, and the Safe Working Load must be checked once the extensions are installed.

Are these forks OEM or aftermarket?

The selection includes both Universal aftermarket fit forks and OEM compatible options such as Nissan applications, sourced for durability and correct fitment.

How fast does an order ship?

In stock orders ship same day, with orders placed after 4:00 PM EST shipping the next business day.

How are forks mounted to the carriage?

Forks attach using either a hook style or a pin style depending on the forklift model and carriage class, so confirming mounting style is key to proper fitment.
