Why Side Shift Is Popular – A Must-Have Attachment for Efficient Forklift Operation

WELCOME TO TASFL!

◆What Is a Side Shift?
A side shift is an attachment that allows the forklift’s forks to move left and right.
It enables operators to adjust the load position precisely without moving the entire forklift, making it essential for loading and unloading in tight spaces.
Used forklifts equipped with Side Shift are especially popular among international buyers.

◆Why Side Shift Is Popular
・Less vehicle movement, faster operation
