US Patent 10556783 Forklift adapter

The invention disclosed herein is a forklift adapter comprising multiple metal bars which create a payload carriage and two insertion points for traditional forklift forks. The adapter is capable of transporting payloads over obstacles and of precisely positioning the payload at the specified drop location. The adapter redirects the forklift insertion point such that the insertion point is perpendicular to the adapter bottom supports thereby transferring the support load of the forks from the bottom of the payload to the top of the payload. The adapter allows a forklift to position a payload over railings and reverse away from the payload.
