Forklift Attachment Hire in Godstone, Surrey
A fork positioner, a bale clamp or a rotator turns a standard forklift into the right tool for an unusual load. Godstone stocks attachments that fit most hire forklifts, checked and ready to fit on collection.
Forklift attachment hire covers fork positioners, clamps, rotators and jibs for loads a plain pallet fork cannot handle safely. Tell the Godstone depot the load shape and we will match an attachment to fit.
Matching an Attachment to the Load
Round loads, wrapped bales and awkward pallets rarely sit safely on plain forks. The right attachment grips, turns or spaces the load so it travels securely.
A bale clamp suits wrapped or loose bales. A rotator turns a drum or bin to tip it out cleanly. A fork positioner adjusts fork spacing from the cab, saving time between different pallet sizes.
Describe the load to the depot before you book. A photo sent over the phone often helps us pick the right fit faster than a description alone. Our depot team has fitted most of these attachments to real loads before, so they can usually tell within a short phone call which one suits yours.
Our Forklift Attachment Range
Godstone stocks positioners, clamps, rotators and jibs sized to fit most hire forklifts we carry. See every hire service from this depot on our Godstone Forklift Rental Service page, covering the full equipment range. Full specs for each attachment, including weight and fit, are listed on our Forklift Attachments collection. Check the fit against your forklift’s carriage before booking both together.
Call 01883 743322 and describe the load. We will confirm the right attachment and have it ready for collection or delivery with the forklift. Collection and delivery for the attachment follow the same booking as the forklift itself, so there is only one delivery slot to arrange. We will also confirm your forklift’s lift capacity still covers the attachment’s own weight on top of the load being carried.
Attachment Hire for Godstone and Surrey Sites
Warehouse and distribution sites around the M25 often handle mixed pallet sizes through the same day, which is where a fork positioner saves real time.
Recycling and waste sites nearer Reigate often need a rotator or grab to tip bins and skips cleanly without spilling the load across the yard.
Tell the depot what kind of site you run. We can suggest an attachment based on jobs we have supplied to similar sites across Surrey before. We supply attachments to sites right across Surrey, not only the ones close to Godstone, so the same advice applies wherever your job is based. This advice applies across our wider Surrey delivery area, not only the towns named here, so call even if your site sits somewhere else nearby.
What's Included With Every Attachment
Every attachment is checked and fitted at the depot before it goes out, so it arrives ready to use on your forklift’s carriage without extra setup on site.
A short fitting guide is included, and our team talks you through the controls if the attachment is new to your driver.
Need a different attachment partway through a hire? Call 01883 743322 and we will arrange a swap, so the job carries on without a long wait for the right tool. If your driver has never used the attachment before, ask the depot for a short walk-through at collection, which only takes a few minutes. Our team keeps a small range of spare attachments on hand for exactly this reason, so a swap rarely means a long wait for the right tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a forklift attachment fit any hired forklift?
Most attachments fit a standard carriage, but it is worth confirming with the depot when you book both together. Tell us which forklift model you plan to hire, so we can check the attachment fits before it leaves our yard with your machine. If the attachment is being fitted to a forklift you already own rather than one you are hiring from us, tell the depot its make and carriage type as well.
Can I hire just the attachment without a forklift?
Only if you already have a suitable forklift on site with a matching carriage. Tell the depot your current forklift’s make and model, and we will confirm whether our attachment fits before you collect it, to avoid a wasted trip. We will also check the forklift’s lift capacity still covers the combined weight of the load and the attachment together. Tell us the load weight on its own, separate from the forklift’s rated capacity, so we can check both figures line up correctly.
How do I know which attachment suits my load?
Describe the load’s shape, weight and how it is currently packed. A bale clamp, rotator or fork positioner each suit different loads, and the depot can often tell within a short phone call which one fits your job best. A photo of the load sent over the phone often helps our team narrow this down faster than a written description alone. Our showroom team can also bring out a similar attachment for you to look at in person if that helps the decision.
Do you deliver attachments to Redhill and Reigate?
Yes, both are inside our normal Godstone delivery area. Delivery is quoted with your hire price, so the full cost is clear before you book. Call with your postcode and we will confirm a delivery slot for your attachment and forklift together. Both postcodes sit well within our normal Godstone delivery route, so turnaround times are generally no different from Godstone itself. Call with your exact dates to hold a delivery slot, since popular weeks can book up a little in advance of the work starting.
What UK rules cover forklift attachments as work equipment?
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 cover attachments used for lifting as well as the forklift carrying them. Coppard checks every attachment before hire, with records kept on file, so there is no separate inspection to book before the job starts. This covers the attachment as a separate piece of lifting equipment from the forklift that carries it. Fitting the attachment to the carriage correctly before leaving our yard also forms part of this same check.
