OVERVIEW

The Haugen Channel Style Fork Extensions are engineered to give forklifts the extended reach, stability, and strength required to safely handle long, oversized, or awkward loads. Designed for industrial material-handling operations, construction sites, warehouses, lumber yards, fabrication shops, and distribution facilities, these high-strength extensions help operators move loads that exceed the standard fork length—without compromising safety or performance.

Built in the USA using premium heavy-duty steel, Haugen’s Channel Style Fork Extensions deliver superior structural integrity compared to traditional open-channel extension designs. The extensions are capped at the 36-inch mark, creating a box-style reinforcement that dramatically increases strength and reduces flex under load. This design makes the extension far more rigid and dependable than standard channel-style extensions commonly found on the market.

At the heel of the extension, the tube is fully capped to retain the forklift tine, while a secure locking safety pin keeps the extension firmly in place during lifting operations. This prevents unwanted shifting, ensuring consistent performance even during demanding or uneven load handling. Operators can confidently transport long pallets, pipes, timber bundles, fabricated steel, trusses, molds, and other extended materials.

The front of each extension features a long, narrow taper, engineered for smoother load entry and easier pallet engagement. This tapered tip helps operators slide into tight pallets, awkward loads, or confined rack spaces more easily, increasing overall productivity and reducing the risk of product damage. The contour of the taper provides better visibility and improved control during handling.

The boxed reinforcement at the 36-inch point gives these extensions more rigidity than traditional channel designs, reducing flex and sagging under heavy loads. This enhanced stiffness ensures predictable fork behavior, even when handling dense materials such as steel, concrete forms, large equipment parts, or stacked lumber.

Haugen’s Channel Style Fork Extensions are compatible with most standard forklift forks and are designed to slip on quickly, enabling operators to switch between standard and extended forks in seconds. The extensions require no special tools—just slide them on, insert the retaining safety pin, and begin lifting. This simple design reduces downtime and makes them ideal for fast-paced material-handling environments.

Beyond strength and durability, these fork extensions prioritize safety. Haugen follows ANSI/OSHA guidelines for extension use, ensuring that the design supports proper load distribution and lifting safety. Operators are always encouraged to consult load charts and maintain appropriate load centers when using any extension.

These extensions are ideal for applications where longer loads must be moved safely and efficiently, such as:

• Lumber and timber yards

• Steel fabrication & welding shops

• Construction supply delivery

• Mechanical and industrial facilities

• Plastic, pipe, and tubing distribution

• Manufacturing plants

• Shipping and logistics yards

With their rugged construction and performance-focused design features, Haugen Channel Style Fork Extensions help professionals do more with their forklifts—expanding reach, improving load stability, and increasing operational productivity.

Manufactured in the USA to the highest quality standards, these extensions offer long-term durability, industry-leading strength, and dependable performance in every lift.
