Product Description

Heavy-Duty Performance in Naval Environments
When it comes to handling massive loads in mission-critical environments, the Star Industries 1396C Navy Lift-N-Tow sets the standard. This industrial-grade attachment is engineered specifically for demanding naval operations—whether you’re aboard a ship, dockside, or in a military maintenance yard. With a lift capacity of 12,000 lbs and a towing capacity of 30,000 lbs, it’s made for serious lifting and hauling.

Slip-On Simplicity, No Modifications Required
The 1396C utilizes a universal “slip-on fork” system, allowing it to quickly mount onto most forklifts without the need for special adapters or tools. That means you can get to work faster and swap equipment seamlessly, boosting on-site efficiency.

Adaptable for Any Towing Job
Flexibility is key in naval logistics. This Lift-N-Tow unit includes a Pintle Hitch as standard, and allows for easy switching between different hitch styles (ball, pintle, combo). Whether you’re moving wheeled assets or large equipment trailers, this unit ensures compatibility with your existing fleet.

Safety-First Engineering
Safety isn’t optional—especially when lifting 12,000 lbs off the ground. The 1396C is designed with operator protection in mind. It includes secure fork pockets, safety chain connection points, and clear guidelines for proper pinning and retention. When properly installed, this Lift-N-Tow minimizes both risk and downtime.

Durable, Long-Lasting Construction
Made with high-strength steel and built to last, the 1396C is designed for longevity—even in corrosive marine environments. Its open pocket ends and thick welded seams mean fewer weak points and a longer operational lifespan, making it a smart investment for military, shipyard, and industrial teams alike.

Compact Yet Powerful
Despite its strength, the 1396C maintains a manageable weight of just 505 lbs (without hitch adapter), allowing for easy maneuverability and minimal strain on your forklift. Plus, its compact frame ensures you can use it even in tighter port spaces or shipboard settings.

Peace of Mind, Every Time
Each Star Industries 1396C unit comes with clearly marked safety instructions and installation points to ensure consistent, secure use. And with the trusted Star Industries brand, you’re getting a product that’s been proven in the toughest environments.
