Heavy Duty Hydraulic Fork Positioner with Sideshifter Attachment for Forklift Truck

Yes. Because this attachment combines two independent operations (fork positioning and sideshifting), it generally requires a 4-function hydraulic valve system (two auxiliary lines) with two levers in the cabin. The forklift hoses connect directly to the standard threaded ports on the multi-cylinder manifold block to control both axes.

The attachment is designed to accept standard fork tines. Your existing forks mount directly onto the moving fork carrier blocks on the attachment frame. They are locked tightly into place using the integrated structural retention hooks, allowing the hydraulic cylinders to push and pull the forks smoothly across the guide shafts.

To ensure long-term smooth operation and minimize wear, the hard-chrome parallel guide shafts should be kept clean of abrasive dirt and debris. Applying a thin layer of common industrial lithium-based grease during standard weekly fleet inspections will keep the fork carriers sliding freely and lower friction.

Yes. As an experienced direct-to-market industrial manufacturer, we offer full OEM and engineering customization. We can custom-fabricate wider frames to safely manage extra-long loads, adapt hook brackets for non-standard forklift trucks, or build high-capacity structures for multi-pallet handling applications.
