In short
The Star Industries Load-N-Tow 1398 is a forklift loading platform and towing attachment used to load, move, and tow equipment in warehouses, rental yards, and construction sites.

The Star Industries Load-N-Tow Forklift Loading Platform & Towing Attachment is a heavy duty forklift attachment that helps to make the process of loading, moving, and towing equipment as simple as possible. Related SKU's to models 1398, SI-1398-1391LD, 1392, and 1393 are additional hitch attachments and the base loading platform for various towing applications. The platform is designed to slide right onto your forklift forks; therefore, you can use the built-in receiver system on your forklift to safely load your equipment and tow a trailer. The Load-N-Tow attachment features a 48" x 48" platform that will enable one person to move large or hard-to-handle equipment with ease by attaching the attachment to a forklift. The ramp style of this attachment also allows for an easier and safer way to load and unload equipment while the built-in receiver allows you to tow a trailer, cart, or any type of equipment attached to the trailer. The Load-N-Tow attachment is constructed of sturdy steel and has a universal slip-on fork design making it suitable for warehouse environments, rental yard operations, construction site operations and industrial facilities requiring the ability to handle and transport materials and equipment in an efficient manner.

Features:

  • Dual Function - Provides both a forklift loading platform and towing attachment for handling and transporting equipment in one single piece of equipment.
  • Ramp and Locking Mechanism - A lowerable ramp for easy loading and a spring loaded locking mechanism that secures the ramp in an upright position during transport.
  • Multiple Hitch Options (1391LD, 1392, 1393) - Allows compatibility with various trailer hitches including raised ball, pintle and combo hitch adapters.
  • 2" Built-In Receiver - Designed to provide a convenient method for forklifts to pull and transport trailers, carts, and any trailer mounted equipment.
