LANDYINDUS F-FS2.5 Wide Load Forklift Fork Spreader | 2,500kg SWL | 3,010mm Extra-Wide Platform | Slip-On Installation with Safety Chain | For Plasterboard, Timber & Sheet Goods
The LANDYINDUS F-FS2.5 Wide Load Fork Spreader is a heavy-duty forklift attachment engineered specifically for the safe, damage-free lifting and transport of extra-wide, flexible, and structurally sensitive load formats that cannot be safely handled with standard forklift fork spacing. With an overall width of 3,010mm, this attachment spans the full width of standard building sheets, roofing panels, and timber bundles — eliminating the concentrated point-load stress that causes bending, cracking, and surface damage.
3,010mm Extra-Wide Span — Prevents Bending, Cracking & Damage to Sheet Goods
The 3,010mm span of the fork spreader is specifically dimensioned to support the full width of standard building sheet materials — including 2,400mm × 1,200mm plasterboard sheets, standard roof sheeting panels, structural timber bundles, and large-format flooring products.
When wide flexible materials are lifted on narrow-spaced standard forks, the unsupported outer edges sag under their own weight, leading to permanent deformation or catastrophic cracking (especially critical with plasterboard and drywall). By placing the fork support points at the outer edges of the load, the F-FS2.5 spreader creates a balanced, full-width support platform that maintains load integrity from pickup through placement, protecting both the product and the operator.
Tool-Free Slip-On Installation & Safety Chain Security
Installation is completed in seconds without tools. The slip-on design slides directly over the existing forklift tines, positioning the spreader frame across the full 3,010mm width in a single motion.
Once positioned, the attachment is secured with a heavy-duty safety chain that locks the spreader firmly to the host forklift carriage. This prevents lateral movement or accidental disengagement during lifting, travel, and placement operations — a critical safety requirement when handling wide, heavy loads at height or navigating uneven construction site terrain.
Enhanced Load Stability on Uneven Terrain
The wide, flat spreader platform improves load stability during transport by providing a broader base of support. This reduces load rocking and shifting on uneven ground surfaces, dock plates, and rough construction site terrain — conditions where narrow-fork handling of wide flexible loads creates significant product damage and tip-over risks.
Applications
- Building material suppliers — handling 2.4m+ plasterboard, drywall, and MDF sheets without edge sagging
- Timber yards — lifting and transporting long, flexible structural timber bundles
- Roofing contractors — moving wide metal roof sheeting panels without creasing or bending
- Construction sites — safe transport of large-format cladding and architectural panels across uneven yard terrain
- Large-format warehouses — distribution of oversized palletised goods

Technical Drawing
1. Load De-rating: The attachment weighs 225kg and operates at a 600mm load centre. Verify your forklift's de-rated capacity chart to ensure it can safely handle the attachment weight plus your maximum load.
2. Pocket Size & Centres: Confirm your forklift tines fit the 160×60mm pockets and can be adjusted to 775mm centres before ordering.
3. Safety Chain: The safety chain must be wrapped and secured to the forklift carriage before lifting any load. Operating the slip-on spreader without the safety chain engaged is strictly prohibited.
4. Width Clearance: The 3,010mm operational width requires significant lateral clearance. Assess aisle widths, door frames, and yard travel paths to ensure safe navigation.
