Transform your fork truck into a powerful tow truck for moving trailers and portable equipment. This simple - designed base slides onto forks and is secured with pin - style tine locks and a safety restraint. It features a welded steel construction with a tough blue baked - in powder - coat finish. The usable fork pockets measure 5'W x 2'H. Optional pintle hooks, tow balls, lifting hooks, and hitches are available in a bolt - on design. Remember, never exceed the 4,000 lb. capacity of the hook base, as an attachment won't increase the unit's total capacity. All measurements are approximate, and slight variations may occur. Weights shown are approximate shipping weights.
Using this fork truck base is easy. First, slide the base onto the forks of your fork truck. Then, use the pin - style tine locks and safety restraint to secure it in place. You can choose to attach optional tow balls, pintle hooks, lifting hooks, or hitches according to your needs. When using it to tow trailers or other portable equipment, always make sure not to exceed the 4,000 lb. capacity of the hook base. An attachment won't increase the total capacity of the unit. As for maintenance, regularly check the base for any signs of wear or damage, especially the welded parts and the powder - coat finish. If there are any scratches on the finish, touch them up to prevent rusting. Keep all the moving parts well - lubricated for smooth operation.
