Forklift hitches: definition

A forklift hitch is a device designed to extend the handling capabilities of a forklift. The hitch, which attaches to the forks, allows you to lift and move specific loads. A simple model is designed to lift and move trailer-type vehicles. But a large multi-function forklift hitch can also move equipment such as industrial hoppers, engines, buckets, skips, etc.

These hitches are mounted at the front of the forklift. They can accommodate many types of attachments:

• Ball
• Hook
• Clamps
• Telescopic boom
• Lifting jib
• Etc.

A multi-function towing hitch receiver allows you to find new uses for a company’s forklifts.

Why use a forklift hitch?

A forklift towing hitch is useful in many ways:

1. Versatility: a hitch can transform a standard forklift into a versatile tool capable of handling different types of loads and accessories. For example, it can allow the forklift to transport trailers, containers, industrial hoppers, etc.
2. Safety: hitches are designed to ensure a secure connection between the forklift and the load. This reduces the risk of material and personal injury accidents
3. Cost effective: instead of investing in several specialized equipment, the forklift hitch meets your handling needs for a limited investment. Such a choice reduces acquisition and maintenance costs
4. Flexibility: Forklift hitches allow companies to quickly adapt to new logistics needs
