Manual Extension Forks

These patented lift truck tines are extended in length manually by the lift truck driver.
The mechanical “movable outer sleeves” are secured to the base fork and cannot be removed. They
simply extend and lock into place. These forks offer a lower cost alternative to hydraulic KOOI-forks
and they are typically used in applications with less frequent need for tine length change.

FEATURES
• Remain mounted on the forklift truck so they are always available for the driver
• Lightweight construction that is extended easily to a variety of lengths
• Cannot catch on objects, like tensioning straps
• Eliminate safety risks and inconveniences typically associated with
t loose fork extensions
• Extension in just one simple movement
• No hydraulic parts
• Low maintenance costs
• No loose parts

The simplicity of extension forks
Manual extendable forks stay on the forklift truck permanently, saving time, space and
money compared to traditional fork extensions (outersleeves). This mechanical option
is lower in cost than the hydraulic fork making it ideal for low usage application.
The manner of adjusting the outer sleeve is highly innovative. It simply involves moving
a pin (which also serves as a grease nipple) sideways, causing the locker to be
retracted. As soon as the locker is disengaged, the outer sleeve can be moved using
the other hand until the locker engages again at the different length.
