FAQs About Forklift Attachments

How wide are pallet forks?

Standard pallet forks are used for loading pallets, lumber and other materials. The forks are 42 inches long, 1 3/8 inches thick and 3 1/4 inches wide. We offer pallet fork rentals of varying sizes so you can find the ideal pallet fork for your project.

What type of steel is used for forklift forks?

Forklift forks are typically made of hardened steel capable of withstanding high levels of stress.

How much can a forklift lift?

Forklifts' lifting capacity starts at just a few thousand pounds on the lower end. However, larger models like reach forklifts and heavy-duty off-road forklifts can lift over 50,000 pounds. We always include the lift capacity of our rental forklifts in the product details. If you have questions, please reach out to a United Rentals representative.
