Cons

Works as described, which means to be careful to distribute weight evenly.

Bottom Line

Although no upper weight limit is listed, these extra-long fork extensions seem to be able to handle around 2,000 lbs. You'll need to center the weight closer to the forklift than the ends, though, to keep the extenders from bending.

Pros

1/4" thick high tensile steel construction. Steel retaining straps to hold extensions in place. For use on forks up to 4" wide. Can lift at around 2,000 lbs. Installation requires no tools.

Cons

May bend more easily than expected – no specific weight limit listed.

    For lifting larger or longer objects, pallet fork extensions easily modify your lift so it can handle a bigger load. Most pallet fork extensions are made of steel and are installed by simply sliding them onto the forks. Forks have different widths, and not all extensions will fit all forks, so make sure you’re getting the right size for your pallet fork. Extensions typically range from 72” to 96” in length. While they do increase the load size of your pallet fork, they don’t increase the carrying capacity. Longer objects close to the carrying capacity of your pallet fork may cause the machine to tip over.
