Station & Fork extensions

The Goubard fork extension station and fork extensions are designed to make handling bulky or oversized loads with a forklift easier and safer. This equipment increases the effective length of the forks while improving safety, ease of use, and storage of the fork extensions.

Manufactured in France, this patented system combines open-bottom fork extensions with a robust storage station. It is designed for companies that regularly handle long pallets, bulky loads, or items that cannot be safely moved using standard forklift forks.

Why use forklift fork extensions?
Forklift fork extensions allow a standard forklift to quickly adapt to longer or larger loads. They eliminate the need for dedicated handling equipment for occasional or routine operations.

With Goubard fork extensions, operators benefit from greater versatility. A standard forklift can safely handle long loads while maintaining fast and simple installation. The extensions slide easily onto the existing forks without complex handling or additional tools.

The Goubard solution has also been designed to reduce physical effort. The extensions can be fitted and removed quickly without the operator leaving the forklift. This saves valuable time every day, particularly in industrial facilities, logistics centres, agricultural operations, and building materials distribution.

A safer and more practical storage station for fork extensions
One of the key advantages of this solution is its dedicated fork extension storage station. It keeps the extensions securely stored, organised, and readily accessible. Instead of being left on the floor, the extensions are safely positioned, reducing the risk of trips, impacts, and improper handling.

The station features fork pockets, allowing it to be moved manually or with a forklift. This makes it easy to organise workshops, yards, and storage areas while ensuring the extensions are always within reach when required.

The system also improves workplace ergonomics. Operators no longer need to lift or manually move heavy fork extensions. Installation is carried out directly from the driver’s seat, making daily operations safer, faster, and more comfortable.

Fork extensions compliant with ISO 13284
Safety is at the heart of the Goubard fork extension design. All Goubard fork extensions comply with ISO 13284, the international standard governing fork extensions, including the maximum permitted extension length in relation to the original forklift forks.

Since 2022, the standard has also introduced additional requirements, including steel strength. Goubard offers fork extensions that are fully compliant with ISO 13284, providing professionals with reliable, durable equipment designed to meet demanding material handling applications.
