What is a rotating Fork ?

Rotating forks, also known as pivot forks or side shift forks, are attachments that can rotate or pivot independently from the forklift mast. Unlike standard fixed forks, rotating forks feature a rotating mechanism that allows the forks to swivel horizontally, typically up to 180 degrees or more. This rotation capability enables precise positioning and improved maneuverability when picking up or placing loads.
