Lifting palletised loads by crane becomes much simpler with purpose built Crane Forks that allow materials to be moved quickly without relying solely on forklift access at ground level. These attachments are widely used on multi storey construction sites and areas with restricted vehicle movement, giving site teams a safer and more controlled way to position materials exactly where they’re needed. Adjustable tines and simple attachment points mean set-up takes only moments, helping to keep work progressing without unnecessary delays. 

Many contractors now prefer crane forks because they offer predictable load movement even when lifting heavy packs of bricks, timber, blockwork or construction goods. Rather than improvising with slings or general lifting equipment, crane forks deliver a reliable solution designed specifically for pallet loads. They’re a valuable addition to any lifting plan where cranes are already in use, and work seamlessly alongside the wider selection of Crane Attachments available on Lifting365 UK.

Crane Forks for safe overhead lifting and pallet handling

Our range includes models with manual balancing for precise operator adjustment as well as self-levelling crane forks that automatically maintain load position throughout the lift. Both options help prevent pallet tilt, reduce the need for manual handling, and make overhead lifting more predictable especially when working at height on demanding construction schedules. Clear visibility and straightforward operation also mean fewer interruptions while positioning loads in tight areas.

Every set of crane forks is engineered for long service life and full compliance with UK lifting standards. Built using robust materials and tested for overhead use, these attachments offer dependable support in day to day construction, refurbishment, industrial loading and much more. From placing materials directly on upper floors to handling goods in storage yards, crane forks provide a practical solution that increases efficiency without compromising on safety or control.

faqs about crane forks

What sizes and load capacities are available for crane forks?

Our catalog includes crane forks with capacities from small loads up to heavier capacities suitable for pallets, bricks, or concrete blocks, matching varied working environments from warehouses to construction sites.

What safety checks should be carried out before using crane forks?

Before each use, check that the forks are in good condition (no cracks, deformation or excessive wear), the crane hook / lifting point matches the fork rating, the pallet or load is stable and evenly placed, and that there are no people under or near the load path. The lift should be planned, supervised and carried out by a trained operator.

How long does delivery take when I buy crane forks?

Standard orders are typically dispatched within 1 to 2 working days. For specific or urgent orders, please contact our team.

How often should crane forks and lifting attachments be examined?

Under LOLER, lifting equipment should be thoroughly examined at regular intervals by a competent person. Frequency depends on use, but inspections should occur at least every 6 to 12 months, and pre‑use checks should be carried out before every lift.

Can crane forks handle uneven or irregular loads?

Crane forks are best for palletised, block or uniform loads. Using them for irregular loads increases risk of instability or load shift. For non‑standard loads, alternative lifting attachments or additional securing measures may be needed.

Are crane forks compliant with UK lifting regulations?

Yes. Any crane lifting attachment, including crane forks,  must comply with UK regulations such as LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. That means they must be suitably rated, inspected regularly by a competent person, and used according to manufacturer guidance.
