For forklifts these days, there are many attachment options offered. Nearly all attachments are made to be used on regular forklifts and are designed to be used on VNA and reach trucks. It is very important to note that OSHA requires approval for any kind of attachment that should be approved for use by the specific lift truck manufacturer.

The sideshift attachment is considered to be standard lift truck equipment. The sideshift apparatus allow for more accurate load placement as well as allows the fork carriage to slide left and right. The sideshift allows the operator to be more versatile with the machinery.

Fork positioners are an attachment option which allows the operator to adjust the forks' distance from the cab of the truck. This specific attachment is mostly used in high volume operations where there is a huge array of crate and pallet sizes handled.

Fork pivots makes it possible for the carriage and forks to pivot and rotate. These attachments can be specially designed for dumping and transporting hoppers. These attachments are extremely helpful for various industrial applications.

The slip sheet attachment is used to slip sheets of plastic, or paperboard or a sheet of cardboard which is utilized rather than pallets. The slip sheet attachments use a push and pull device that clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls the cargo onto a thin platform. Then, the load is pushed off the platform when the truck reaches the destination.

Drum handling attachments come in various designs. They are various models attached to handle 55 gallon drums. There are several smaller versions of a paper roll clamps that go around the roll and also are capable of a full 360 degree rotation. There are other drum attachments which could pick up a range of drums all at once.

One more option is tilt control, which enables the operator to preset the fork tilt angles. For extensions slide over the forks to help lift and transport longer loads. The Carton clamp operates similar to a paper roll clamp except rather than being round, the clamping surface is flat.
