Forklift Attachments in South Africa
Twenty attachment families, mounted to the trucks you already run, specified from Nelspruit and delivered nationally. Rental and finance available on all of it.
Buying an attachment in South Africa is mostly a technical exercise rather than a purchasing one. Four things decide the outcome: the carriage class on the truck, the hydraulic services available to it, the load the attachment has to handle, and what the added weight and forward load centre do to the truck’s rated capacity. Get those right and the attachment works for a decade; get them wrong and it either does not fit or the truck is not legal with it on.
That is the work the Nelspruit technical desk does before a quote goes out. We ask for the make, model and capacity, the carriage class or a photograph of the carriage plate, and the load details — and we return the derated capacity alongside the price so the truck can be re-plated correctly. It is also why a photograph of a nameplate is a perfectly good way to start an enquiry.
Two brands cover the range. Saur is the premium line, carrying a three-year unlimited-hour warranty, and is where the heavy and specialised work goes — roll clamps, tyre manipulators, forging manipulators, high-cycle rotators. Stricta is built to the same testing discipline at a keener price and covers the general handling families: side shifters, positioners, bale and carton clamps, pallet handlers.
Attachments are supplied from Nelspruit nationally, with Johannesburg covering Gauteng, the platinum and chrome belts and the Western Cape. Maintenance plans, long-term rental and hire purchase finance are all available, which matters where an attachment is needed for a contract rather than for the life of the fleet.

Forklift attachments South Africa — questions
- 01Who supplies forklift attachments in South Africa?
- ETEQ Material Handling supplies Saur and Stricta attachments nationally from Nelspruit, with Johannesburg covering Gauteng and the surrounding provinces. Specification, capacity derating and maintenance are handled in-house.
- 02How much does a forklift attachment cost?
- It depends entirely on the family, the capacity and the configuration — a slip-on fork extension and a 360° rotating roll clamp are not comparable purchases. We quote against your truck and your load rather than publishing a list price.
- 03Will fitting an attachment affect my forklift’s capacity plate?
- Yes. The attachment’s mass and the forward shift in load centre both reduce safe capacity, and the truck should be re-plated for the combination. We supply the derated figure with the quote.
- 04Can attachments be rented?
- Yes. Long-term rental and hire purchase finance are both available, which suits contract-length requirements and staged fleet changes.
