Star Industries Load-N-Tow Forklift Towing Attachment | Model 1398 | Width 48" x Depth 48" | Towing Capacity Up To 12,000 lbs | For Forklift
DESCRIPTION
The Star Industries Load-N-Tow Forklift Towing Attachment Model 1398 is a versatile forklift accessory designed to transform standard forklifts into efficient towing and material-handling solutions. Built for rental equipment yards, warehouses, construction sites, and industrial applications, this forklift tow hitch attachment allows operators to quickly load, unload, and move heavy or awkward equipment with improved productivity and safety. The slide-on fork design enables fast installation, while the built-in receiver hitch supports moving trailer-mounted equipment using a standard 2-inch square trailer adapter. Featuring lowering ramps for easy loading, a spring-loaded locking pin for secure transport, and included 3-foot safety chain with grab hook, the Load-N-Tow helps reduce manual handling, minimize equipment damage, and improve jobsite efficiency. With its durable steel construction, compact 48-inch x 48-inch dimensions, and 330 lbs empty weight, this forklift towing attachment is an ideal solution for expanding forklift capabilities without adding dedicated towing equipment.
