ABSTRACT:
An accessory for a forklift vehicle is described herein. The accessory is designed to attach to the forklift vehicle using the original forks of the forklift vehicle. The accessory provides additional forks, attached to a base bar that is wider than the width of the forklift vehicle and the original forks of the forklift vehicle. The wider forks of the accessory exist on a plane parallel to but lower than the original forks, wherein the original forks are used solely for the connection of the attachment to the forklift vehicle, and will not be in direct contact with the lifted load when the accessory is used. Only the additional forks provided by the accessory are in direct contact with the load lifted by the forklift vehicle. The wider forks provided by the forklift accessory allow the forklift to handle wider loads with ease.
