The slip sheet attachments use a push and pull mechanism which clamps onto the slip sheet and pulls the cargo onto a thin platform. Then, the load is pushed off the platform when the truck reaches the destination.

Drum handling attachments are available in various designs. They are many different models attached to handle 55 gallon drums. There are several smaller versions of a paper roll clamps which go around the roll and also can rotate a full 360 degrees. There are other drum attachments which are able to pick up various drums all at once.

Tilt control is one more option which allows you to preset fork tilt angles. The fork extensions are specialized extensions that slide over the existing forks on the truck so as to help you lift and transport longer loads.
