📘 Overview

Available in two capacities: MFSH-6TS (6,000 lb hook, 3 ton) at 205 lbs, and MFSH-10TS (10,000 lb hook, 5 ton) at 220 lbs. Pocket spacing: 14.5" ID – 29.5" OD, fits tines up to 3.5"×7.5". Hook at 24" on center. Engineer certified. OSHA/ANSI compliant. Made in USA.

🔑 Benefits

• Dual function eliminates the need for two separate fork-pocket attachments — a standard MFSH swivel hook provides lifting; a separate fork-mounted trailer spotter provides the receiver. The MFSH-6TS and MFSH-10TS combine both in one unit at no additional pocket real estate, allowing operators to both lift loads and spot trailers with a single fork-mounted tool.
• 2" receiver accepts standard trailer ball mounts for moving trailers in yards and loading docks — the 2" receiver tube accepts all standard ball mount hitches. The operator couples to the trailer ball using the receiver, then uses the telehandler or forklift's steering and travel to nudge trailers into dock position, around yards, or into storage. This eliminates the need for a semi truck or yard spotter truck to move empty trailers.
• MFSH-10TS 10,000 lb hook capacity covers most telehandler and medium forklift lifting requirements — telehandlers rated at 8,000–12,000 lbs frequently use the fork-mounted swivel hook for overhead and crane-substitute lifting work. The 10,000 lb MFSH-10TS matches the upper range of what most telehandlers can safely lift at rated load center.
• Engineer certification provides compliance documentation for regulated lifting work — the engineer certification on both MFSH-TS models satisfies OSHA 29 CFR 1910.184 and 1926.251 requirements for rated, marked lifting hardware on regulated job sites.

📊 Specifications

🔗 Attachment Compatibility

The MFSH-TS series uses the standard fork-pocket mount for telehandler and counterbalanced forklift tines (14.5" ID to 29.5" OD pocket spacing). The swivel hook capacity (6,000 or 10,000 lbs) is independent of the machine's trailer spotting capacity — never exceed either limit. Only use the receiver for ground-level trailer movement, not for overhead lifting.

🚜 Machine Compatibility
