What is a Side Shift on a Forklift?

The Side Shift is a specialized device on a forklift that enables the carriage and forks to move laterally, to the left or right, independent of the forklift’s main body.

This feature significantly enhances the operator’s ability to precisely position a load, thereby improving efficiency in handling and placement tasks. It also reduces the need for the forklift to manoeuvre extensively, making operations smoother and more efficient.
