Standard Forks Not Reaching? Extension Slippers Close the Gap - Safely.

When your forklift forks are too short for the load, you risk tip-overs, product damage, and unsafe lifts. East West Engineering Forklift Extension Slippers slide over your existing forks to extend reach and spread load weight more evenly - letting you handle longer, bulkier loads without hiring specialised equipment or risking an incident.

The Problem It Solves

• Forks too short for long timber, pipe, or sheet material - slippers extend reach from 1.6m up to 3.0m to match the load.
• Uneven load distribution causing tip risk - the extended contact surface spreads weight across a greater fork length.
• Costly equipment hire for occasional long-load lifts - a one-time purchase covers a wide range of applications.
• Mismatched fork sizes for different machines on site - available in four cross-section sizes (100x45mm, 130x50mm, 155x55mm, 160x65mm) to suit 2.5T through 8T forklifts.

How It Delivers

• Load capacities from 2.5T to 8T - matched to your machine rating so you never exceed safe working load.
• Extension lengths from 1.6m to 3.0m - choose the length that suits your longest regular load, not the longest possible load.
• Heavy-duty steel construction - built to withstand repeated industrial use in warehouses, yards, and on-site environments.
• Slide-on fit - no tools or modifications required; slippers fit over standard fork profiles for fast changeover between jobs.
• Delivery location options - stocked and dispatched for VIC, NSW, QLD and WA, SA, NT, TAS to minimise lead times nationally.
