The Minute Man Forklift Wrecker® is an easy, fast and affordable way to move cars with just a forklift. It is a mechanical, auto-load wheel lift attachment.

  • Fits many (but not all) Class I, IV, V, and VI Forklifts
  • Fits forks up to 48″ length
  • All-mechanical, auto-loads using springs
  • 3,500lbs load capacity, subject to forklift rating at distance from mast

Benefits of the Forklift Wrecker

  • Save time and labor, quickly moving at your shop, dealership or lot
  • Reduces risk of damage with wheels-only contact
  • Eliminates cost of contract wreckers
  • No hydraulics required

How to choose the right size?

  • First, measure your fork thickness
  • Forks less than 2¼” thick need the Standard Model
  • Forks between 2¼” and 3″ thick need the Large Fork Pocket Model
  • Regardless of thickness, forks cannot exceed 48″ in length

How it Works

  1. Slide onto the forks of your forklift
  2. Tighten bolts to secure attachment to forks.
  3. Time to go! Push attachment under wheels of vehicle. The “C-Hooks” will automatically pivot securely around the wheels of the parked vehicle.
  4. Lift the vehicle and secure with provided wheel straps.
  5. Move it!
  6. When finished, remove the straps and then lower the forks to ground.
  7. Reverse your forklift slowly and the springs will pull the C-Hooks back, releasing the wheels.
