• What industries use forklift attachments?

  Forklift attachments are widely used across manufacturing, construction, mining, logistics, warehousing, infrastructure, waste management and agriculture. The right attachment also depends on the operating environment, including outdoor exposure, high-cycle handling, corrosive conditions or applications involving specialised materials.

• Can forklift attachments be custom-designed for our requirements?

  Yes. Many East West Engineering forklift attachments can be customised to suit specific operational requirements. Where a standard product is not suitable, our engineering team can assess the application, load type, capacity and handling requirements to determine whether a modified or custom designed solution is appropriate.

• How do I choose the right forklift attachments for my operation?

  Selection depends on the load size and weight, forklift capacity, material compatibility, indoor or outdoor operating conditions, and any relevant compliance requirements. If you’re unsure which attachment is best suited to your application, our team can provide technical advice before you purchase.

• What types of forklift attachments are available?

  There are many types of forklift attachments designed for specific applications, including fork extensions, work platforms, goods cages & platforms, jibs, bin tippers, drum handlers, dirt buckets, roll prongs, fork spreaders, rotators, clamps, fork positioners, sideshifts, and other specialised lifting solutions. Each attachment is engineered to suit different load types and operational requirements.

  At East West Engineering, we have been designing and manufacturing forklift attachments for over 45 years, specialising in engineered solutions that enhance the versatility and capability of forklifts. Our range of standard and custom-designed attachments has helped industries across Australia safely and efficiently handle a wide variety of loads and applications.

  Whether standard or purpose-built, our forklift attachments are designed to improve productivity, safety, and operational flexibility across demanding material handling environments.

• How do forklift attachments improve productivity?

  Forklift attachments improve productivity by allowing a single forklift to perform multiple handling tasks without the need for additional equipment. This reduces downtime, speeds up material movement, and improves workflow efficiency across operations.

• Can forklift attachments be customised?

  Yes. Forklift attachments can be fully customised or engineered to suit specific load sizes, weights, operating environments, and handling requirements.

  At East West Engineering, we specialise in designing and manufacturing both custom forklift attachments and modifications to our standard range. With in-house engineering and production capabilities, we develop solutions tailored to your exact application, including variations in size, capacity and functionality. If the right equipment doesn’t already exist, we’ll engineer a custom solution.

  Based at our Brookvale facility, our engineers and production team work closely together across design, fabrication, and manufacturing to deliver complete material handling solutions. This integrated approach ensures all equipment is Australian Standard compliant, design certified, and built for performance.

  Choosing East West Engineering means more than supplying equipment, it means partnering with a specialist engineering team focused on improving safety, reliability, and productivity on site. Our engineered-to-order forklift attachments help reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and improve operational efficiency across demanding industrial environments.

  While many applications can be met with our standard forklift attachment range, our engineering team can also design and deliver purpose-built solutions when required.

• What should I consider when choosing a forklift attachment?

  When selecting a forklift attachment, you should consider the load type, weight, dimensions, frequency of use, operating environment, and the capacity of your forklift.

  Choosing the correct attachment is critical to ensure safe operation, improve handling efficiency, and reduce the risk of product damage or equipment wear.
