5LF · Hook-on
Hook-on fork positioner with pin-type forks for 1.8–5.0 t. The most common widths and fork lengths, with several models in stock for immediate delivery.
5LF belongs to our Baseline range: a hook-on fork positioner with side shift and pin-type mounted forks. The range covers only the most common widths and fork lengths, so we can offer an affordable product in the usual e-l-m quality, with fast delivery. It covers 1.8 to 5.0 tonnes.
The hooks follow ISO standards, so the attachment moves easily between masts and forklifts. That makes it ideal for urgent needs and for used trucks. For intensive use we recommend the 6HFPF. If the attachment will stay on one truck, choose the 6IFPF or 6IFPC: the integrated design gives better visibility, higher residual capacity and safer, more efficient operation.
The lower beam gives a large opening in relation to the width. Shaft-fitted forks run on heavy bronze bushes at the top and greasable rollers at the bottom, so positioning and side shift are efficient and quiet. The valve sits in front of the right mast profile, behind a heavy-duty protective plate. 5LF-S adds a separate side shift of ±100 mm, for 1.8 to 4.5 tonnes.
