Vestil FE-P Tapered Pin Style Fork Extensions — 4,000 lb Per Pair, Tapered Front End
Vestil Pin Style Fork Extensions (FE-P) provide the extra support needed to lift long or large objects with a fork truck. This wide-fork range — fork widths 7" and 8" — features a tapered cut front end on a welded steel body, with a baked-in powder-coat yellow finish for lasting durability. Pin retention makes them quick to install and remove, and each extension includes warning and operating stickers for worker safety. Maximum capacity 4,000 lb, evenly distributed per pair.
Why It's Different: Built for wider 7" and 8" forks, this range uses a tapered cut front end for clean entry under loads, and secures with a pin behind the heel — remove the pin, lay the extension over the fork (or drive the truck into it), then re-insert the pin to lock it in place.
Best For: Warehouses and manufacturing running wide-fork trucks that handle lumber, pipe, panels, drywall, carpet, and other long or oversized loads where standard forks can't reach. Choose the width to match your forks and the length for your load.
⚠️ For use with Class 2 and Class 3 forks ONLY. Confirm your fork class before ordering.
⚠️ OSHA 150% rule: fork extensions must not exceed 150% of the existing fork length (e.g., 48" forks → 72" maximum extension). With lengths up to 120" offered, confirm your existing fork length before selecting.
⚠️ Fork width must match your existing forks — this range covers 7" and 8" widths.
⚠️ 4,000 lb capacity is the maximum per PAIR, evenly distributed. A single extension ("Sold As: Each") is intended for pair use or as a replacement and is not individually rated at 4,000 lb. Buying a pair also costs less than two singles.
⚠️ Pin retention: the pin must be re-inserted behind the fork heel to secure the extension.
⚠️ Long versions (108"/120") are heavy and oversized — two-person handling and freight shipping.
