Star Industries 1390B Lift-N-Tow Forklift Tow Hitch Attachment
Authorized Star Industries Dealer
Ensuring quality backed by full manufacturer warranty & support.
The Star Industries 1390B Lift-N-Tow is the safe, OSHA-compliant way to lift, load, and tow with your forklift — all from a single, universal slip-on-forks attachment. Simply slide it over the forks, and your forklift becomes a fully capable towing machine rated for up to 10,000 lbs gross towing weight, with a swivel hook lift capacity of 4,000 lbs and a receiver jib lift capacity of 2,000 lbs. The 1390B includes a convenient built-in tool tray and is compatible with interchangeable ball, pintle, and combination hitch adapters - sold separately — so you can configure it for virtually any trailer or towed load.
The interchangeable hitch adapter system is one of the Lift-N-Tow's greatest strengths. A ball hitch is ideal for towing trailers with standard couplers, a pintle hook handles heavier loads and rougher terrain with a more secure connection, and a pin hitch covers carts, wagons, and other compatible equipment. This flexibility means a single attachment can serve multiple towing needs across your entire operation — from loading dock to construction site to rental yard. The attachment installs and removes quickly with no special tools or forklift modifications required.
Built with rugged heavy-duty construction for long service life, the 1390B helps businesses avoid the cost of dedicated tow vehicles while keeping operations moving safely and efficiently. Whether you're in warehousing and distribution, manufacturing, construction, or agriculture, the Lift-N-Tow turns your existing forklift fleet into a versatile lift-and-tow powerhouse — without the OSHA risk that comes from improvised towing methods.
