Forks are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in the operation of lift trucks. While they may seem simple, choosing the right fork—whether it's a replacement, extension, or different size—can be a challenge. That’s where Koke, Inc. comes in.

At Koke, Inc., we specialize in manufacturing high-quality forklift forks that meet ITA specifications and exceed OSHA standards. Our product line includes hook, shaft, and specialty forks designed to fit a wide range of applications and lifting needs. Here’s what makes our forks stand out:

• Our forged forklift forks are sold in pairs, ensuring consistent blade height and tip thickness. This consistency also guarantees a perfect fit for any fork extensions you might need.
• We offer both standard taper and full taper & polish options, giving you flexibility based on your application.
• Each set of replacement forks comes with a locking pin kit to secure the blades firmly in place on your lift truck.
• Available in Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, and Shaft Mount configurations, our forks come in lengths ranging from 96” to 156”. With over 300 forks in stock, we can ship quickly to meet your needs.

But how do you know which type of fork is right for your equipment? The answer depends on several factors, including the make and model of your forklift, as well as specific measurements and requirements. Let’s take a closer look at the different types of forks we offer and what information you’ll need when placing an order.

Hook Type Forklift Forks

Hook-type forks are commonly used on light-duty forklifts and are available in ITA Classes 1, 2, and 4. These forks feature a pair of 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 ordering hook-type forks, our engineers will need the following details:

• 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. We also offer standard taper or full taper and polish options.
• Lifting capacity: Knowing the maximum weight your forklift can handle ensures the forks are safe and suitable for your needs.

Shaft Type Forklift Forks

Shaft-type forks are designed for heavy-duty applications, often found on large forklifts and construction equipment. They provide a floating function that helps absorb shocks, making them ideal for outdoor use and uneven surfaces.

Ordering these forks requires more detailed measurements and specifications. For clarity, we recommend reviewing our spec sheet, which outlines all the necessary dimensions and requirements for accurate quoting and ordering.

Specialty Forklift Forks

Whether you call them tines, blades, or teeth, specialty forks are essential for unique material handling tasks. Koke, Inc. can design custom solutions for block, lumber, and Class 4 (shaft-mounted) applications. Our engineers can also modify existing forks to better suit your operational needs.
