Side shift permits the forks to be laterally adjusted (typically 4" left & right of center). This permits faster and easier positioning of the loads.

Fork positioning allows the forks to be adjusted in or out hydraulically vs manually adusted. Typically, this is recommended when a variety of pallet or load widths are being handled frequently. A time saver and helps ensure the load is supported at the maximum width for increased load stability.
