Side Shifters

Side Shifters

The side shifter has become indispensable for users of forklift trucks. They allow you to centrally pick up goods or neatly stack them on top of each other without having to make countless adjustments. Nowadays, more than 90% of forklifts are equipped with a side shifter.

There are 2 models of side shifters:

  • Built-in side shifters, which are more expensive and are usually supplied with the forklift itself.
  • Front-mount side shifters, which are naturally cheaper and can be mounted on all different models of forklifts, even if the forklift was not initially designed for it.
  • Typically, a side shifter can move 10 cm to the left and 10 cm to the right, although there are already side shifters that allow for more movement. For more information about side shifters, it's best to contact CC Heftrucks.
