Here are some common types of attachments for forklifts and some tips on using each one.

Booms

A boom is an extension that increases the reach and height of your forklift truck. Booms vary in design, such as those that reach over,those that are fixed and those that can pivot. A carriage mount attachment is also available for the boom in case the operator wants to lift a co-worker.
