Side shifters are the most common forklift attachments. The side shifter can provide a distance adjustment left and right when the forklift is fully loaded. If the forklift driver is not able to accurately place the goods, he can slightly adjust by the side shifter at this time. When loading and unloading goods in containers, side shifters are particularly important.

Forklift bale clamp is a kind of equipment that can handle a variety of large soft objects, such as cotton, textiles, cashmere, waste paper, pulp bags, etc. The two clamping arms of the bale clamp can be hydraulically adjusted to suit different sizes of goods. Forklift bale clamps are usually mounted on the carriage of the forklift, which requires the forklift to provide 2 hydraulic functions, one for open and clamp, and the other for side shifts.

A forklift attachment is an item handling device mounted on a forklift. It is not a forklift accessory and is a stand-alone finished product. Forklifts usually have a pair of forks, which are mainly suitable for handling goods with pallets, but when encountering some special dimensions of goods, forks are difficult to handle safely and effectively. At this time, it is necessary to install a special handling equipment for the forklift to handle special materials, which are collectively referred to as forklift attachments. The action that the forklift can do include lifting, small angle tilting, stacking, but if it equipped with forklift attachments, it can increase the open and clamp, rotate, push and pull, side shift, large angle tilt and other actions. Therefore, forklift attachments provide more functions and flexibility for forklifts, thereby improving logistics handling efficiency and reducing material damage caused by handling. Forklift attachments mainly have the following a few types paper roll clamp,bale clamp,rotator,fork positioner,side shift,hinged carraige,Push Pull ,drum clamp,multi-pallets handler and carton clamp. In fact, every special material can be handled by a special designed forklift attachment. 

Forklift carriage is a component of a forklift that is used to carry and support the forklift's lifting forks. It is a metal structure that sits on top of the mast and is attached to the hydraulic system of the forklift. The carriage contains rollers that move along the mast channels, allowing the forks to move up and down. The carriage can also be adjusted to fit different forklfit attachments for various material handling applications. After knowing forklift carriage, we have to know more on the forklift mounting calss. The forklift carriage mounting class refers to the type of mount or attachment mechanism used to connect a forklift carriage to the mast. There are three main types of forklift carriage mounting classes, which are: 1. Class I: This is the most common forklift carriage mounting class and is used for Class I forklifts. Class I mounting is a hook-on style configuration that hangs from the top of the mast. 2. Class II: This type of forklift carriage mounting is used for Class II forklifts and is also a hook-on style configuration. However, Class II forklifts require a narrower mast channel. Forklift from 1.5~2.5T loading capacity. 3. Class III: This is a bolt-on style configuration that allows the forklift carriage to be more securely mounted to the mast. Class III mounting is typically used for Class III forklifts or less commonly for heavier Class IV and V forklifts.  In summary, the forklift carriage mounting class refers to the type of mount or attachment mechanism used to connect a forklift carriage to the mast, and there are three main classes based on the type of configuration and the forklift class they are designed for.  Class I: Forklift with less than 1.5T loading capacity. Class II: Forklift from 1.5~2.5T loading capacity. Class III: Forklift from 3~4.5T loading capacity. Class IV: Forklift from 5~8T loading capacity.
