By Mike Nelson, Posted in Forklift Attachments, Materials Handling

Forks are often overlooked, but they play a critical role in lifting and moving materials efficiently. Whether you're dealing with standard loads or require custom solutions, finding the right fork can make all the difference. At Koke, Inc., we understand the importance of reliable, high-quality forklift forks that meet industry standards and perform under pressure.

Our range of forklift forks is designed to meet ITA specifications and comply with OSHA safety requirements. We offer a variety of options to suit different applications and lift truck models. Here’s what makes our products stand out:

  • Forged in Pairs: Each set of forks is manufactured as a pair, ensuring consistent tip thickness and blade height. This precision guarantees a perfect fit for any extensions you may need.
  • Available Tapers: Choose from standard taper or full taper and polish to match your specific needs.
  • Secure Fit: Every replacement fork comes with a locking pin kit to keep the blade firmly in place on your lift truck.
  • Wide Range of Options: From Class 2 to Shaft Mounts, our forks are available in lengths ranging from 96” to 156”. With over 300 units in stock, we can ship quickly to meet your deadlines.

But how do you know which type of fork is right for your equipment? It's not just about the make and model — there are specific measurements and details our engineers need to ensure the best fit and performance. Let’s take a closer look at the different types of forklift forks we offer.

Hook Type Forklift Forks

Most light-duty forklifts use hook-type forks, which are commonly classified as ITA Class 1, 2, or 4. These forks feature two metal hooks that allow them to slide over the carriage, making them ideal for materials handling tasks with lifting capacities up to 14,000 pounds.

When placing an order for hook-type forks, here are the key details our engineers will need:

  • Carriage Class: Measure the height of the carriage bar to determine if it's Class 2 (16”), Class 3 (20”), or Class 4 (25”).
  • Fork Size and Taper: Provide the width, length, and thickness of the fork. You can also choose between standard taper or full taper and polish.
  • Lifting Capacity: Let us know the maximum weight your lift truck can handle so we can ensure the forks are safe and suitable for the job.

Shaft Type Forklift Forks

Shaft-type forks are typically used on heavy-duty forklifts and construction equipment, offering a more flexible, suspension-like movement ideal for outdoor environments and uneven surfaces. Ordering these requires more detailed information due to their complexity.

For accurate quotes, we'll need precise measurements, dimensions, and the lifting capacity of your equipment. For a clear reference, check out our spec sheet for the exact details we require.

Specialty Forklift Forks

Whether you call them tines, blades, or teeth, specialty forks are essential for unique materials handling tasks. Koke, Inc. specializes in creating custom solutions for blocks, lumber, and even Class 4 (shaft-mounted) applications.
