Frequently asked questions about forklift attachments

Most attachments slide onto standard forks – they have fork pockets that slide over the forks and are secured with a chain fastening. The decisive factors are: fork width and thickness (the fork-pocket dimensions A/B/C of the device must match the forks), forklift load capacity (must carry the device's own weight + payload), and lift height (for folding-bottom containers and crane arms: the container must be lifted over the target container). For work platforms, the approval of the forklift manufacturer is also required.
This depends on volume, bulk density and discharge type: volume: 0.15–5 m³ depending on the batch. Load capacity: check bulk density × volume against the load rating – metal chips (800–3,000 kg/m³) and sand (1,600 kg/m³) quickly overload standard containers. Discharge type: standard tipper for containers, automatic 4A for conveyor belts, 3-way tipping for confined spaces. Special needs: waste separation → TRIO (3 compartments), very heavy goods → heavy-duty SK (4,000 kg), very large volumes → BKC up to 5 m³.
Tipping container: the forklift tilts the forks and the contents fall out to the side – fast, full discharge. Folding-bottom container: the bottom opens downwards and the contents fall vertically – precise transfer into narrow hoppers and machine inlets. Silo container: hopper-shaped with a 30° base slope, front discharge through a flap – metered, controlled release. Choose according to the target: wide container → tipper, narrow hopper → folding bottom, metered transfer → silo.
Work platforms on forklifts are subject to strict regulations: DGUV Regulation 68 (industrial trucks) and DGUV Rule 108-007 govern their use. The most important points: the forklift manufacturer must expressly approve the use of work platforms. The platform must be secured against unintentional lowering. People must not stand in the platform while the truck is moving. The driver must not leave the forklift while the platform is occupied. Observe the maximum lift height and load capacity. The TÜV-tested and DGUV-compliant work platforms in our range meet all requirements.
Most attachments are fitted in less than a minute: 1. Position the forklift in front of the device. 2. Drive the forks into the fork pockets. 3. Hook in the chain fastening (prevents it slipping off the forks). 4. Lift the device and check that it is seated securely. No tools needed. For crane arms and work platforms, also check the securing bolt or locking mechanism. Always read the device's operating manual before first use – for load-handling equipment in particular, the DGUV regulations apply and instruction of the driver is mandatory.
Lids: protect the container contents from rain, dust and contamination during outdoor storage or under protective regulations (AwSV for goods hazardous to water). Lockable versions protect against unauthorised access. 2-part (most ranges) or 4-part (large containers). Important: on the stackable BSK tipper, the lid makes the container no longer stackable – remove it before stacking. Castor sets: allow containers to be moved by hand without a forklift – for set-up times and positioning at the machine. Polyamide (up to 450 kg/castor) or solid rubber (quieter).
