ABSTRACT:
An attachment to a fork lift consisting of a rectangular frame connected via a hinge mechanism to a hook piece. In use, the frame pieces are slid over the tines of the fork lift, with screws securing the device in position. The hook piece thus extends to the side of the fork lift, and can then be used to carry long cylindrically shaped objects through tight spaces in a conventional fork lift manner. The hinged connection between the hook piece and the frame piece allows easy loading and unloading of the objects.
