Fork Hook Attachment
Consider purchasing our forklift lifting hook with the Battery Handling Beam. The Fork Hook Attachment is a simple device to slide on the forks to position a hook for lifting below the forks. The FA-6000 comes with a safety chain to secure the device from sliding off the forks. It is easy to install only weighing 25 lb. but still allowing to lifts loads up to 6,000 lb.
