Need to box in the whole fork so all the strain isn’t just on the two sides that you notched out. You should be able to stand on it without a pin or bolt in it. If the bolt shears that could be a bad day. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not a trade welder or a fabricator. But it seems that it would need to be fully boxed in for safety. Btw they look great!
square tubing was not available at my local metal store so head to get what i could. also most manufactures have a similar design. and the pins i use are used for a 12,000 pounds trailer hitch. i think it be okay.
Hi. Thanks for your videos. I have two questions. What’s wrong with Uline forklift extensions? And what forklift would you recommend for this business (what’s your model)?
They are not as strong and probably made out of Chinese steel. And choice the forklifts that fits your business. Talk to your sales rap on your area. There is hundreds of models available
Those will make your life alot easier!
Nice job.
They sure do
Dude. Waaay better than mine. I just bought two 8 foot lengths of 5x2 rec tubing. Haha. Those look sick man.
It’s been 2 years since I’ve built them and they are still strong and straight.
great work

How long was the taper on the end of the extension?
20”-24”
What thickness material did you use ?
The c Channel was 1/4 thick and 1/4 thick plate under
Good Job, do it yourself
What size c channel did you use ,diameter
Don’t remember but it was built to fit my forks. Some forks are narrower and some are wider. But I think it was a 5”x2”
