Forkboots™ by Universal Canvas®, Inc. are durable fork covers for forklifts and telehandlers, designed to help reduce scratching, scuffing, and surface damage during material handling. These non-marking fork protectors create a protective layer between steel forks and the materials being moved.
Protect Materials from Fork Damage
Forks on forklifts and telehandlers can easily scratch, dent, or mark products during handling. Forkboots™ are designed to help reduce direct contact damage, making them useful for moving:
- Finished goods
- Pallets and packaged products
- Crates and containers
- Sensitive or coated materials
These fork covers for forklifts and telehandlers are commonly used in:
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Manufacturing facilities
- Shipping and receiving operations
- Material handling environments
Built for Real Equipment Use
Forkboots™ are constructed using heavy-duty materials designed for daily use on forklifts and telehandlers:
- Top & Bottom: Industrial-grade 1680D ballistic nylon for durability and wear resistance
- Sides: 600D urethane-coated polyester with high-visibility caution markings
The high-visibility sides help improve fork awareness during operation, supporting safer handling in busy environments.
Secure Fit with Grommets & Bungee System
Each Forkboots™ cover is designed for secure attachment to forklift and telehandler forks:
- Reinforced rear grommets
- Bungee cord fastening system
- Designed to stay in place during typical operation
This setup allows for quick installation and removal without slowing down workflow.
Designed to Reduce Wear & Surface Damage
By adding a protective layer between forks and materials, Forkboots™ help:
- Reduce scratching and scuffing
- Minimize rubbing during lifting and movement
- Protect finished or sensitive materials
- Support cleaner, more controlled handling
High-Visibility Design for Safer Operation
The caution-marked side panels are designed to increase fork visibility, helping operators and nearby workers better identify fork position.
This supports:
- Improved operator awareness
- Safer material handling
- Better positioning and alignment
