Forklift Crane Hook for Construction

The Forklift Fork-Mounted Crane Hook is a robust, easy-to-fit attachment that transforms your forklift into a dependable mini mobile crane in seconds. Designed for construction environments where heavy, awkward, or suspended loads are part of everyday operations, this attachment allows operators to safely lift and manoeuvre items such as steel beams, concrete sections, machinery, and building materials without the need for a full-sized crane.

One of its key safety features is the Heelpin retention system, which locks the hook securely to the forklift forks. This prevents unwanted movement, sliding, or dislodgement during lifting, giving operators maximum load stability and peace of mind when handling materials on uneven or busy construction sites. By eliminating the unsafe practice of wrapping chains or straps around forks, the Fork-Mounted Hook provides a compliant and professional lifting solution.

Available in a range of weight capacities from 1,000 kg to 5,000 kg, and with two fork pocket sizes to suit standard and larger forklifts, it offers flexibility across different site setups. Its quick slide-on design means no downtime—simply fit, secure with the heelpin, and get to work.

For contractors, builders, and plant hire companies, the Fork-Mounted Hook is a cost-effective way to expand the functionality of existing forklift fleets, reduce reliance on cranes, and keep projects running on schedule. Built to withstand tough site conditions, it’s a practical and durable investment in site productivity and safety.

There are multiple models available dependent on requirements with the specific Telehandler Fork Mounted Hook, and The Eco Hook for maximum versatility.
