In today’s fast-moving warehouse environment, the right equipment is a game changer. At ReadyRack we understand that your forklifts are only as good as their attachments. In this blog we’ll dive into how forklift attachments can boost your productivity, maximise space and improve safety. With our Melbourne based service and Australia wide delivery, we support your operations from ground level up.
Why Choose Forklift Attachments
Forklifts are indispensable, but with specialised attachments your material handling takes a leap forward. On our Forklift Attachments collection page you’ll find multiple options designed to:
- Increase storage density (for example, by using double-deep reach style attachments you can expand your effective capacity)
- Speed up handling and reduce repositioning time
- Improve safety and reduce operator risk when handling non-standard loads
Investing in the right attachments is not just about adding accessories. It’s about upgrading your forklift into a more flexible machine and seeing real gains in efficiency.
Key Attachment Types and Their Benefits
Below are several standout attachments available from ReadyRack, along with how each could work for your warehouse.
Forklift Slippers
These extend the reach of your existing tines, enabling longer or bulkier loads safely.
- Built to Australian Standards
- Example: 1800mm length with a 4000kg safe working load at 500mm load centre
- Ideal for handling oversized loads without changing the forklift
Tip: Measure your tine dimensions carefully to ensure compatibility with the slipper length and width.
Forklift Jib
A telescopic jib attachment transforms your forklift into a lifting device capable of reaching, hooking and moving irregular loads.
- Available in 2500kg and 4500kg capacities
- Zinc-plated finish and safety chain included to meet standards
- Useful for maintenance tasks, machinery lifts or any load that cannot be palletised
Forklift Tipping Bins & Rotating Plastic Bins
Managing waste, recyclables or reusable containers becomes easier when you integrate specialised attachments.
- The 240L Wheelie Bin Tipper allows 180° rotation of wheelie bins operated from the forklift seat
- The Rotating Plastic Bin with Base is designed for onsite waste collection
- Safe Working Loads are clearly specified and the design supports efficient material handling
Container Ramp
Moving heavy goods in and out of shipping containers demands the right interface.
- Heavy-duty container ramp provides reliable access for forklifts into ISO containers
- Fixed single-piece or self-levelling options available
- Safe Working Load up to 6500kg
Work Platform Cage for Forklift
Sometimes your forklift needs to elevate a person safely—for inventory, maintenance or inspection.
- Rated up to 250kg for two people
- Includes harness anchor points and locking pins
- Complies with relevant safety standards
How to Choose the Right Forklift Attachment
Selecting the correct attachment involves more than picking a popular model. Consider these factors:
- The type of loads handled (size, weight, shape)
- The layout of your warehouse (aisle widths, racking design, storage depth)
- Your main goals: gaining space, increasing throughput or improving safety
- Compatibility with your forklift (capacity, tine size, carriage type)
- Maintenance needs and operator training requirements
Key decision prompts:
- What is the maximum load weight and centre of gravity?
- Do loads vary in width, length or require rotation?
- Is your storage footprint limited?
- How much repositioning time does your current workflow require?
- Are safety risks elevated due to awkward loads or elevated work platforms?
By answering these, you’ll align the right attachment with your operational needs and see lasting value.
