At Greenfield Products, we pride ourselves on engineering unique material handling solutions and forklift truck attachments designed with the customer in mind. Our attachments can tackle distinct challenges and boost operational efficiency across a wide range of industries.  

When you think of forklift trucks, the usual attachments like pallet forks or side shifters might come to mind. But, have you heard of these innovative, industry-specific attachments that can transform your fork truck into a versatile workhorse?  

Here are just five forklift attachments you might not have known about, but once you do, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without them:

1. Marina Forks: Innovative Aquatic Handling

2. Chassis Rotator: A Necessity for Container Terminals 

Imagine rotating a container chassis with ease, allowing for better yard utilization and safer handling. The Chassis Rotator does exactly that, providing a solution for container terminals and rail yards where space and safety are priority. This attachment simplifies the bundling and unbundling process, making your operations smoother and more efficient. 

3. Hitch Puller-Chassis Picker Combo: Streamlined Operations
