What is the weight capacity of a forklift lift hook?

The Star Industries forklift lift hook in our catalog is rated for 6,000 lb. Always verify the attachment's rated capacity against your forklift's own load chart at the working lift height, since the truck's rating is the limiting factor for any attached load.

Can a forklift vacuum lifter handle glass and steel sheets?

Yes, a forklift power vacuum lifter such as the Abaco AFPVL300 is built to grip flat, non-porous materials like glass panels and sheet steel, letting the forklift lift and place them without slings, forks, or edge contact that could damage the material.

Do forklift lift hooks and vacuum lifters come with a warranty?

Yes, both the lift hook and vacuum lifter carry the manufacturer warranty listed on each product page. Coverage terms are set by Star Industries and Abaco Machines respectively, so review the specific product listing for the applicable warranty period.

How is a forklift lift hook or vacuum lifter shipped?

These attachments ship via insured LTL freight due to their size and weight. Insured LTL protects the shipment in transit and is standard on both the lift hook and the vacuum lifter listed in this collection.

How to Choose a Forklift Lift Hook or Attachment

What is a Forklift Lift Hook?

A forklift lift hook is an attachment that mounts to the fork carriage or slides over the forks, giving the truck a rated hook point for slings, chains, or rigging so it can lift loads that don't sit on a pallet, such as pipe bundles, tanks, or suspended equipment.

What Capacity Do I Need?

Match the attachment's rated capacity to your heaviest planned lift, not your average one, and confirm it against your forklift's own load chart at the intended lift height — the attachment can never exceed what the truck itself is rated to carry.

Hook or Vacuum Lifter — Which Fits Your Load?

Choose a lift hook for rigging, chains, or slung loads like drums and bundles, and a vacuum lifter for flat, non-porous materials such as glass, sheet metal, or slabs where a hook or fork can't get a safe hold.

How Does the Attachment Mount to the Forklift?

Each listing specifies its carriage or fork-mount configuration, so confirm class and frame compatibility with your forklift before ordering, and call our team if you need help matching an attachment to your truck's carriage.
